American Aubrey Kirch continues to impress on the Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour (LPRT), as she upset LPRT #5 Cristina Amaya, 11-7, 11-5, 11-9, in the Round of 16 at the New Jersey Open in Warren, N.J. She'll play Samantha Salas Solis in the quarters on Saturday, as Salas Solis defeated Jennifer Saunders in the 16s, 13-11, 11-5, 11-3.
