Senior Megan Humphreys (Kenosha/Tremper) and sophomore Gabi Kitchell (Wausau, Wis./D.C. Everest) each won four matches Friday and Saturday to advance to the semifinals of the singles bracket for the second straight season. Humphreys, the draw's top seed, will face No. 5 Karen Moe of Northwestern (Minn.), and Kitchell, seeded second, will take on third-seeded Bridget Bellissimo of UW-La Crosse.
 
Humphreys and Kitchell also reached the semifinals in the doubles bracket. The top-seeded duo is 3-0 so far and will take on Michaela Schulz and Ally Baker of Gustavus Adolphus, the region's No. 3 seeded team.
