After placing third as a ninth-grader and runner-up a year ago, Eagan junior Cassandra Li is again in contention for an individual state tennis title. The fourth-seeded Li moved into the Class 2A singles semifinals with a 6-4, 6-2 victory over Edina’s Rashi Singh on Thursday at Baseline Tennis Center. She’ll meet top-seeded Claire Loftus of Rochester Mayo back on the U campus at 8 a.m. Friday, with the winner advancing to the 11:30 a.m. final. Rochester Mayo’s Aoife Loftus and Elk River’s Ava Nelson will meet in the other semi. Hastings’ Brooklyn and Reese Keller are into the doubles semifinals after they upset the No. 3 seed, Maple Grove’s Maddie Larsen and Summer Ode, 6-0, 1-6, 6-4 in the second round. They’ll meet second-seeded Astrid Kerrman and Raya Hou of Edina in the semis. Rochester Mayo’s Malea Diehn and Keely Ryder — the No. 1 seed — will meet the fourth-seeded duo from Mounds View, Rory and Reese Wahlstrand. The Mustangs’ tandem won a three-set thriller in the second round Thursday. Class A Minnehaha Academy’s Chloe Alley dropped just three games total across her first two matches Thursday to breeze into the singles semis, where the top seed will meet Litchfield’s Isla Dille. It’ll be Blake’s Fatemeh Vang vs. Holy Family’s Casey Cronin on the other side of the bracket at Reed-Sweatt Family Tennis Center.
