2019 LPRT Turkey Shoot - Round of 32

The first round of the Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour (LPRT) 2019 Turkey Shoot Open is done in Lombard, Illinois with a couple of upsets. One is unsurprising, as 20th seed Kelani Bailey Lawrence - a USA National Team member - defeated 13th seed Cassi Lee, 15-2, 15-1, and the other came in a battle of two young Mexican players. Erin Rivera, the 21st seed, got the better of 12th seed Ana Laura Flores, but needed three games to do it, winning 15-7, 8-15, 11-8. In the Round of 16, Lawrence will play 4th seed Alexandra Herrera, while Rivera plays 5th seed Rhonda Rajsich.

In doubles, the young team of Hollie Scott and Lexi York knocked off veteran Aimee Ruiz and Masiel Rivera by a narrow margin, winning 15-14, 5-15, 11-10. Scott and York didn’t score more points in the match, but still managed to win two games and move to the quarterfinals tonight against 2nd seeds Natalia Mendez and Maria Jose Vargas.

Also, Erin Rivera and Flores - after playing singles against each other - teamed up to play doubles, but sadly for them, they lost to Valeria Centellas and Carla Muñoz, 15-9, 5-15, 11-5. Centellas and Muñoz will play top seeds Paola Longoria and Samantha Salas in the quarterfinals tonight.
