LPRT 2016 New Jersey Open - Saturday results

Paola Longoria, the #1 player on the Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour (LPRT), will have a chance to extend her unbeaten string this season on Sunday, when she faces LPRT #3 Rhonda Rajsich in the final of the New Jersey Open in Warren, New Jersey. Longoria has won all eight of the LPRT events this season.

Longoria reached the final with a four game victory over Frédérique Lambert, 11-4, 11-8, 10-12, 11-9, in the semi-finals. In the other semi-final, Rajsich upset 2nd seed Maria Jose Vargas, 8-11, 11-0, 11-6, 11-2.

But Vargas will have a chance to win on Sunday, as she and Aimee Ruiz are in the LPRT Doubles final after beating Susana Acosta and Da'monique Davis, 15-4, 15-7, in the semis Saturday. However, awaiting Vargas and Ruiz in the final will be Lambert and Longoria, who won the other semi-final against Carla Muñoz and Jessica Parrilla, 15-12, 15-7.

The singles final is Sunday at 11 AM EST with the doubles final to follow at noon EST, and the finals can be viewed live via the LPRT LiveStream channel.
