The top three seeds in the Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour (LPRT) doubles draw at the 2021 UnitedHealthcare US Open in Minneapolis, Minnesota won their quarterfinals matches in two straight games Thursday night. Top seeds Paola Longoria and Samantha Salas beat Kelani Lawrence and Hollie Scott, 15-9, 15-3, and 2nd seeds Alexandra Herrera and Montserrat Mejia defeated Angelica Barrios and Jenny Daza, 15-8, 15-4. Third seeds Valeria Centellas and Natalia Mendez had a bit more work to do to fend off Erika Manilla and Rhonda Rajsich, 15-13, 15-4.

However, the 4th seeds Gabriela Martinez and Maria Renee Rodriguez were upset by the new team of Veronica Sotomayor and Maria Jose Vargas, who came back from a game down to win 10-15, 15-3, 11-2. They'll take on Longoria and Salas tonight.
