Xavier's Allison Jasper and Prairie's Jessica Pedersen advanced to the state tennis singles semifinals on Thursday as did the Washington doubles team of Vale and Magui Caro.

Jasper, playing in the 1A tournament at the University of Iowa, defeated Emily Jurgensen of Ballard, 6-1, 6-2 in the first round and downed Emily Ahlers of LeMars, 6-4, 6-0 in the quarterfinals. She will meet defending state champion Haley Resnick of Davenport Assumption in Friday's semifinals.

Xavier's Kylie DeWees won her first set against Boone's Emma Rose before she was forced to retire from the tournament due to injury.

In Class 2A at Ames, Pedersen will meet West Des Moines Valley's Chloe Jefferies in the semifinals. Pedersen downed Sioux City North's Becca Aleynik, 6-4, 6-4 followed by a 6-1, 6-4 win over Kayla Kuethe of Waukee, 6-1, 6-4

The Caro sisters from Prairie will meet MVC rivals Megan Jans and Brittany Langland of Iowa City West in the semifinals after a pair of wins, including a three-set triumph over Washington's Lilly Hartman and Rina Moore. The Warrior duo came back with a consolation-round win and will play again on Friday.
