On the men’s side, 16 teams began play as two rounds were completed. Top-seeded duo Billy Kolinske and TJ Cloud put away two opponents to advance on to the semifinals where they will face the four seed Tom Kohler and Michael Boag.

On the other half of the bracket, second-seeded pair Dan Buehring and Matt McCarthy advanced through to the semifinals where they will face the six seed Miguel Calvillo and Spencer Sauter, who upset Kyle Buckley and Nick Momcilovic (No.3 seed) in the quarterfinals.

On the women’s side, nine teams competed as the bracket featured one play-in match between No. 8 and 9 seeds. Eighth-seeded duo Heather Schrader and Carol Henney advanced, but came up short in the next round against the top seeded team of Caley Redden and Branagan Fuller.

The four seed, Elizabeth Koberstein and Lindsey Gosh, then put away the five seed, Claire Carbonneau and Heidy Salamone, to set up a semifinal contest against Redden and Fuller.

On the other half of the bracket, No. 2 seed Kerri Schuh and Yvonne Martin advanced to the semifinals with a win over the seven seed Jayme Wittke and Laura Voith. They will meet the three seed Heidi Pfeiffer and Jena Berg, who won over Candice McNally and Cherie Stoffa (No. 6 seed).

The semifinals and championship matches for both men and women will take place this Thursday (June 26).
