Lee will be joined in the Final Four by the other top four seeds, Phoenixville’s Julia Gumieniak (No. 2), Spring-Ford’s Tori Alexander (No. 3) and Methacton’s Dina Nouaime (No. 4).
Gumieniak dropped two games in each of her matches, topping Methacton No. 2 Tina Prince, 6-2, 6-0, to advance to the semifinals.

Elaina Lee, Prince, Spring-Ford No. 2 Kathryn Alvarez and Methacton No. 3 Sydnie Markowitz remain in contention for districts by reaching the quarterfinals. Pottstown’s top two, Gianna Epps and Alivia Lopez, will represent the PAC in the District 1-AA field.
