Flathead singles players Alexis Kersten and Isabella Parrott also advanced to semifinals, where the teammates will line up against each other. On the other side is Great Falls’ Lilly Langbein versus CMR’s Grace Kaufmann.

Glacier’s Cadence and Cassidy Daniels are still working through the doubles consolation rounds as are Quindy Gronley and Tori Dobis in the singles consolation bracket. Flathead’s Elle Westover is set to play Dobis today in the fifth round of consolation, starting at 9 a.m.
