Round of 32 at 2018 LPRT Turkey Shoot

One veteran wins and two lose in the Round of 32 at the Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour (LPRT) 2018 Turkey Shoot Open in Lombard, Illinois. Cheryl Gudinas was the winner, as she went the distance with 11th seed Sheryl Lotts, winning in five games, 11-9, 7-11, 11-3, 9-11, 11-7. However, Susana Acosta lost to Michelle De La Rosa, 11-5, 4-11, 11-7, 11-9, and Adrienne Haynes was upset by young Steffany Barrios, the 21st seed, 6-11, 11-5, 11-7, 11-3.

Next up for Gudinas will be 6th seed Natalia Mendez, while De La Rosa plays 4th seed Maria Jose Vargas, and Barrios faces 5th seed Rhonda Rajsich in the Round of 16 later today.

Also in the 32s, Maria Renee Rodriguez defeated Kelani Bailey Lawrence in a battle of two young up and coming players, 12-10, 11-9, 11-7, and Valeria Centellas couldn’t translate her success at the 2018 International Racquetball Federation (IRF) World Junior Championships success - gold medals in both singles and doubles in the Girl’s U16 divisions - into a win against veteran Cristina Amaya, who won in three games, 11-7, 11-2, 11-7.

The Round of 16 begins at 3 PM on Friday, with the quarterfinals on Saturday from 10 AM and the semi-finals at 4:30 and 5:30 PM.
