Herrera beats Lambert to reach semi-finals at 2018 LPRT Sweet Caroline Open

Alexandra Herrera, seeded 5th, upset 4th seed Frédérique Lambert, 11-4, 7-11, 11-5, 11-5, in the quarterfinals of the Ladies Professional Racquetball Tour (LPRT) Sweet Caroline Open in Greenville, South Carolina. She’ll play LPRT #1 Paola Longoria in the semi-finals, as Longoria beat Carla Muñoz, 11-5, 11-3, 11-2, in the quarters. Their match will be a battle of doubles partners, as Herrera and Longoria have teamed up to play together this weekend.

On the other side of the draw, Nancy Enriquez defeated Eleni Guzman, 11-1, 7-11, 11-8, 11-8, in the quarters to advance to the semi-finals for only the second time in her career. The last time she was in a semi-final was February of 2011 in Miami, where she lost to Longoria. Guzman had leads in both games three and four at 6-3, but Enriquez came back in both to win them.

Today, Enriquez will play Jessica Parrilla, who outlasted Samantha Salas over five games, winning 5-11, 11-9, 13-11, 10-12, 11-2.

The semi-finals will be Saturday at 4 PM and 5 PM. The singles final will be Sunday at 11 AM with the doubles final scheduled for noon. Check out the LPRT YouTube channel for the action or its LiveStream channel or the LPRT on Facebook.
