They'll play top seeds Frédérique Lambert and Sofia Rascon in the semi-finals, as Lambert and Rascon defeated sisters Gabrielle Shnurman and Hannah Shnurman, 15-7, 15-8.

Fifteenth seed Jordan Cooperrider came closest to a big upset in singles, as she was won the first game against 2nd seed Rhonda Rajsich, and as a point away from being up 2-1 in games after fighting back in game three from 10-5 down to lead 11-10.
