The potential benefits of antioxidants has been well documented through years of scientific research. Veriuni didn’t just stop with traditional antioxidants; we went a step further and included a red-wine extract, to create a very potent antioxidant. Experience the VERIUNI difference.I already take a daily multi-vitamin, why do I need to take an antioxidant?
The vitamins and minerals in our Advanced Antioxidant work together to block the chemical reactions that generate free radicals (compounds that harm the immune system and can damage DNA) and also help destroy them. Put simply, antioxidants help safeguard your immune system, retard the aging process, and protect your health. In addition, research has shown individual antioxidants support heart health and eye health - both important to older adults.

To boost your energy levels and healthy lifestyle, check out Veriuni's Advanced Antioxidant with Red Wine Extract. One dose (two capsules) of the Veriuni antioxidant includes 500 mg of Vitamin C, 400 IU of Vitamin E, and 50 mg of red wine extract.

Note*: Liquid Nutrition can now be shipped to many different countries,shipping and handling fees apply,see drop down list when ordering..

Note*: AVP on DVD disc may be shipped separately from your order and is simply our GIFT to you,you are purchasing the nutritional supplement only and not the DVD..

He captured his last domestic title in 1996 (June 30) with Brian Lewis in Grand Haven, Mich.Bacil's only other USA pro title was with Jose Loiola at a 1995 indoor event in Washington, D. C. Bacil, who grew up on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro,Brazil, won Brazilian and South American beach titles prior to starting his AVP career in 1993.A winner of five pro beach titles, Ceman was trying to win his second-straight Huntington title on The Pier courts as he claimed the 2000 crown with Lewis. Whitmarsh, a beach Silver Medallist for the United States at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games with Mike Dodd, had won 27 pro beach Gold Medals. Whitmarsh is also the AVP's reigning "King of the Beach" after winning the crown last October in Las Vegas.Ceman and Whitmarsh advanced to the finals with a 21-16 and 21-16 win over second-seeded Nick Hannemann and Andy Jewell. Ayakatubby and Bacil entered the championship match with a 5-0 AVP Huntington match mark, including a 21-16,21-23 and 16-14 win over 19th-seeded Mike Lambert and Colin Smith in the semi-finals.In the Bronze Medal match, Hannemann and Jewell scored a 21-19 and 21-15 win over Lambert and Smith in 35 minutes. Hannemann and Jewell shared $6,600 for third-place while Lambert and Smith split $4,850 for fourth-place. Lambert, a
two-time USA indoor Olympian, was competing in only his fourth pro beach event
while Smith was posting his career best finish.Led by Leonard Armato, Management Plus of El Sequndo, Calif., acquired the AVP last month (May 31, 2001) to unite the world's best men's and women's professional beach volleyball players under one umbrella organization. The unification has attracted another large domestic field for the second of eight stops on the "new" AVP Tour.Armato actually founded the AVP and served as its executive director in the 1980's. Under his initial leadership, the AVP developed into a national professional league, attracting major sponsors and national television exposure
along with increases in player prize money. His involvement is expected to give the sport a much-needed boost following a number of lackluster seasons.

injuries and surgeries, but I knew my career wasn't over and today proved it."

ended up the key for us today. You make a mistake and it's a point for another
team, not just a side out. They made a couple of critical mistakes at the end

entire AVP tour this year and this win makes my immediate future more certain.

We played really smart and cagy to come back like we did. To have match point
twice in the tie-breaker game and then lose it kind of puts you in shock. I am
really happy for Ack (Ayakatubby), because I know how hard and how long he has
worked on coming back."

The teams exchange points twice, moving the score to 20-14, setting up match point attempt by Jewell. His

In the stats department, Lambert had nine attacks, five kills, three blocks,
one ace and one service winner. Smith contributed 22 attacks, five digs, 14

dig, 10 kills, one block and one service winner. Jewell's play included 21
attacks, five digs,14 kills,one block,and games highs of two aces and three service winners.
ADAM JEWELL: We played pretty good overall in this tournament. We were really
out of gas in our olympic-crossing semifinal against Ceman/Whitmarsh. I was
especially struggling with fatigue. I drank a lot of water between matches and
I think we weren't as tired as Colin (Smith) and Mike (Lambert) obviously were.
We really played flawlessly in the third place match except for a few missed
serves. We just need to get a little better stamina on these days when the sand gets so hot."

(Doble/LeGrande win Game 1, 21-16)
        In Game 1, Doble/LeGrande scored first in a game which started out much closer
than it ended. Doble/LeGrande scored first on a Doble kill. Ceyman/Whitmarsh
tied the game for the first of what would be 8 ties with a Ceman cut shot.
Doble/LeGrande appred to start to control the match, extending to a three-point
margin at 4-1, 5-2, 6-3, and 7-4 before Ceyman/Whitmarsh climbed back to tie
the score at 7-7 on a Ceman cross court spike. Ceman/Whitmarsh took the lead
aand went up 9-7 as two LeGrande hits went long. The game was tied again at 10,
11, 12, 13, 14, and Ceman/Whitmarsh went up 16-14 at the third side change.
Doble/LeGrande tied the score at 16-16 when a Ceman shot went wide With some
singularly incredible play, LeGrande led his team to a game-ending
seven-straight points. LeGrande ended the game with five consecutive kills,
assisting his team to a 21-16 victory.
(Doble/LeGrande win Game 2, 23-21)
        In Game 2, Ceman/Whitmarsh came out smoking, taking a 3-0 lead before
Doble/LeGrande came back with their own run of five straight points to take a
5-3 lead. Ceman/Whitmarsh worked their way back to tie the score at 6-6, 8-8,
and had leads at 9-8, 10-9, 11-10 and 12-11 in the game which had 12 ties and
five lead changes.Ceman/Whitmarsh built up two three-point cushions at 14-11
and 17-14 before Doble/LeGrande began their final march to the championship.
They finally tied the match again at 18-18 when a Ceman spike went wide and
took the lead at 19-18 when a Ceman dig went wide after a Doble spike.
LaGrande's block attempt went wide, allowing Ceman/Whitmarsh to tie the score
again, at 19-19 and Doble's hard kill gave his team the lead back at 20-19, but

took their final lead at 21-20 on Doble's hitting error. Doble's cross court
angle kill tied it at 21-21 and the eventual winners took the lead again when
Whitmarsh's spike went wide. The match ended in exciting fashion on another

QUOTES:
        Doble: "Inconceivable! I've waited for this for about a decade. Unbelievable.
I thought we played as well as we're capable of doing. I thought we would play
well I will never complain about Lee's blocking again. I can't think of a
better place to win a tournament than your hometown. I feel pretty good about
the choice I've made this weekend (to play with LeGrande). They're such great
supporters of volleyball in this area. It's just fantastic. We're certainly the
odd couple. It feels good that I gave him balls that he could put away."
        LeGrande: "I wanted to prove to the whole world that I 'm legit. You may think
that I was obnoxious, but that's my style. I'm just happy that Dobe gave me a
shot. Beach Volleyball is so much about confidence in yourself and your partner.
I was just itching to play, watching the women's championship match just
inspiried me. Commitment and having a partner to listening is so important.
It's a team thing out there. I like playing with the crowd. To have them on
your side is a pretty good feeling."
        Ceman: "These great fans make it a joy to play volleyball. The loss is just
so disappointing."
        Whitmarsh: "They deserve to be champions. We played good, they played better.
We missed too many opportunities again today."

QUOTES:
Lisa Arce: "I just wanted to have fun, and we did, but it wasn't great that we
lost. I salute Linda (Hanley) and Sarah (Stratton) for how hard and relentless
they played. Second isn't what we wanted, but it's a lot better than most of
the other options. The final game made a great case for the new rule for cap at
14. If you tell yourself you're tired, you go slow and you can't do that here."
Holly McPeak: "What made this loss so hard was that it was such a great effort
by both teams and yet we had so many match point serves that went to sideout.
We've been out of the country for a month and it was just awesome to be back in
the U.S. playing for such great fans."
Linda Hanley: "This is my favorite place to play, I probably should have
played by whole career here. This match was just unbelievable and the victory
was the icing on the cake. The crowd is just so fantastic. Siding out in the
final game was so important after we got to 14 points. And Sarah was flawless
during the final matches of the tournament. Sarah's always positive, she's the
'little energizer', Sarah just always plays with a never say die attitude. My
career has lasted so long because I took breaks to have kids and try not to
burn out. I've almost retired many times. The crowd is just so appreciative and
so knowledgeable.."
Sarah Stratton: "It was unbelievable. It was so great to work like that and be
able to pull it out at the very end. We played so well together, helping each
other out at just the right time. We never gave up and it all worked out
better than we could have hoped for against such great opposition. We were in
one of the toughest matches I've ever played."

California for free coolers and water bottles.When there was prize money available, she
often was playing for a fraction of what the men earned.When she took time off to have children, there were those who said she'd never make it back to the pros.But Hanley turned a deaf ear to the critics. And she listened to her heart."You can do anything you want, if you want it badly enough," said Hanley.....

BOSS & SMITH NET FIRST PRO BEACH VOLLEYBALL TITLE;AVP PAUL MITCHELL OPEN AT VIRGINIA BEACH CONCLUDES SUNDAY IN THE RAIN
VIRGINIA BEACH, VA. - Fifth-seeded Aaron Boss and Collin Smith avenged an early
morning loss here Sunday (July 29) to score a 21-19 and 21-19 win over
eighth-seeded Ian Clark and Adam Jewell in the finals of The Paul Mitchell Open
at Virginia Beach......

Calif. duo overcomes rain, bad start for volleyball title
By LEE TOLLIVER, The Virginian-Pilot
July 30, 2001
VIRGINIA BEACH -- Aaron Boss and Collin Smith are now quite fond of the rain.
Heading into competition Sunday morning in the fifth stop on the Association of Volleyball Professionals Pro Beach Tour, none of the competitors left in the field was too
happy about the weather conditions on the Oceanfront sand. And when it was over, Boss and Smith, a pair of Californians, were the only ones managing smiles.
``We'll take the rain, oh yeah,'' said Boss, who netted his first pro victory in his team's 21-19, 21-19 decision over Ian Clark and Adam Jewell. ``It can rain for the rest of the
tour for all we care.''The win was also a career first for Smith. The pair, whose
best finish to date had been fourth, split $14,000. Clark and Jewell split $9,250.
None of the local entries made it out of the qualification tournament held Friday to determine the championship field of 25 teams.Seeded fifth, Boss and Smith had lost to their final-round opponents earlier in the day, falling 12-21, 18-21 in the winner's bracket semifinals. They had to fight back with wins over second-seeded Brent Doble and Lee
LeGrande, 21-18, 19-21, 16-14, and over third-seeded Albert Hannemann and Sean Scott, 12-21, 21-18, 15-10.``We had to beat two really good teams to get here and that might have done a lot for our confidence in the final,''said Boss, who finished with a match-high four blocks.``We were able to use that momentum and kept it going right through the final.'' Neither team gained more than a two-point margin in the rally-scoring format where teams score points whether they are serving or not. ``We had some times there where we could have gained a good advantage and they just came right back,'' said Clark, who tied with Smith for most kills with 18 apiece. `` In rally scoring, when you don't get the point and the other team does, it's like a two-point swing.'' In the opener, Boss and Smith never held the lead until they took it at 17-16 on Boss' light tap over the outstretched hands of Clark. The game was tied three times more before Jewell served long and Clark hit out of bounds for Boss and Smith's game-one victory. The second game was much of the same, except that the rain came in buckets. Jewell and Clark held the game's only two-point advantage at 7-5, only to see the affair tied at 7 on a crushing kill by Smith and a Boss block.The game would see 10 more ties, and Jewell and Clark were never able to regain the lead. And the end was similar to game one, with Boss and Smith breaking a 19-19 tie on a big kill by Smith and winning when Jewell hit wide.``I just can't put this into words,'' said Smith, a fourth-year pro. ``This is just so unbelievable. You can't duplicate this feeling, especially since we got revenge over our buddies, two guys we train with.''

Courtesy Of Tim Simmons

Dax Holdren/Todd Rogers (No. 1 seed) vs. Stein Metzger/Kevin Wong (7)

(Metzger/Wong win Game 1, 21-14)
In Game 1, Metzger/Wong jump out to a 5-1 lead before Holdren/Rogers score
three and Metzger/Wong add one more, 6-4 at the first side-change. The game
stays close during the next 10 points, with Rogers tying the game with a
cross-court kill, 10-10, at the second side change. Wong blocks for a point and
them Metzger serves and Wong blocks for four more points as his team takes a
commanding 15-10 lead. Wong's net play and Metzgers serves work together to
give their team a 21-14 victory, with the game ending on a Metzger kill for the final winner.

(Metzger/Wong win Game 2, 21-19)
In Game 2, Rogers opens the game with a kill, Wong answers back with a kill,
Rogers kill attempt is wide, Metzger/Wong lead, 2-1. Holdren/Rogers then score
on a three-point run followed by a four-point run to lead 8-3. After exchanging
points, Metzer/Wong slowly start climbing back, 11-9, Holdren/Rogers at the
side change. Metzger/Wong tie the game at 12-12 when Rogers' kill attempt falls
short. The game is tied at 13-13 and 14-14, before Metzger/Wong pull away by
two, 16-14. Holdren/Rogers fight back, trailing by one at 16-15, 17-16 and then
tie it up at 17-17 as Holdren kills off the block attempt of Wong. Metzger/Wong
then take a full time out. Wong's massive kill gives his team and 18-17 lead
and Rogers ties it back up at 18-18 on a kill down the line. With Rogers
serving, Holdren fights off Wong's big block attempt to give his team the lead
at 19-18. A Wong kill ties it again at 19-19 then give his team the lead again,
20-19. Metzger serves for the game and match and after a big rally, Holdren's
cross court kill goes just wide and Metzger/Wong win the game, 21-19, earning the gold medal.

Stastically speaking:
Metzger had 20 attacks, a game-high 12 digs, one ace and three service winners.
Wong contributed 19 attacks, two digs, 13 kills, a game-high three blocks, one
ace and two service winners. Holdren recorded 17 attacks, six digs, 10 digs, two blocks and one service winner. Rogers was credited with a game-high 36 attacks, seven digs, a game-high 14 kills, one ace and one service winner.

QUOTES:
Metzger: "I want to apologize for beating the hometown heroes, but they've
been beating up on us all summer. Having a solid partner like Kevin really
calms me down. We played so many games this weekend, we really got into a
groove. We figured out the wind and the sand we had this place dialed in."

Wong: "Stein's my man. He's on fire and having a great partner makes it so
much easier. We had to beat the crowd today too, and maybe that turned out to
be even more to our advantage. I've got Stein out there dancin' around, he
keeps me in line. This win was a payback for everything Dax and Todd have being
doing to us all summer long. Stein and I have been playing together for 12
years and it keeps getting better and better."

You can't call that on the King
8/19/01
In a second-round contenders' match, a set came out with a little spin on the ball on Court 6. An official called a mishandled ball on Karch Kiraly, much to the chagrin of the East Beach legend and his fans."How dare you," screamed a Kiraly supporter."Call a lawyer," yelled another.Casey Jennings, Kiraly's 20th-seeded opponent, was also called for a setting error. Moments later, with Kiraly-Scott Ayakatubby leading 7-5 in Game 3, Jennings appeared to throw a ball but the official didn't call it.Kiraly was livid at the time but cooled down after the victory. "The officiating is different from court-to-court," he noted. "The rules are different and it's hard for the refs to know what to call. It's not anybody's fault."Trailing 9-6 in Game 3, Jennings' temper got the best of him and he punted the ball 40 yards off the court. A good kick by NFL standards but it netted him a red card and cost his team a point.
Golden benefits
Eric Fonoimoana's life was changed forever after he and Dain Blanton surprised the world by winning the beach volleyball gold medal at the 2000 Sydney Olympics."I've got more speaking engagements,playing exhibitions and demands from the media," said the former UCSB star. "It's been a great learning experience and a good opportuntity to meet new people."He said another beneficiary has been his "Digs for Kids" Foundation. For more information, visit his Web site at dig4kids@yahoo.com.
Rally freeze
Under the new rules of the "new" AVP, all matches are best 2-of-3 rally scoring affairs with the first two games to 21 and the third to 15.When a team reaches 14 points in the third and deciding game, the "freeze" comes into play. Rally scoring is put aside and the old sideout scoring is in effect, which means teams can only score on their serve."I think it's great," said 44-year-old Sinjin Smith. "I think they should do it for all three games. Players like the freeze at the end of the third game but they'd really like to see the scoring go back to the old(sideout) way."Rally scoring has helped make all the games closer. As a player, it's nerve-racking because every point is important. As a spectator, I think it's great."
Blanton injury
It was a short tournament for Dain Blanton, who captured the gold medal with Eric Fonoimoana at last year's Olympics.Blanton strained an abdominal muscle at the end of practice on Thursday. Blanton and his partner Carl Henkel, the No. 6 seed, forfeited their opening match to Sean Rosenthal-Mark Williams and then withdrew when Blanton couldn't go in the second match.They tied for 25th place and split $500.
TV broadcast
The finals will be shown on a tape-delayed basis on FOX Sports Net with Chris Marlowe and Heather Cox providing commentary. The broadcast is scheduled for Monday, Aug. 27 from 3-4 p.m.

AVP NOTEBOOK

John Zant and Dave Loveton
NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER
Who could dig a spike by Shaq?
Lakers center Shaquille O'Neal said earlier this year that if he played beach volleyball he could be "the black Sinjin Smith." Smith's name did not come up by chance. Shaq's agent is Leonard Armato, whose company runs the AVP. Walk out the door of Armato's house, and you are on Manhattan Beach. "I invited Shaq and Sinjin to my place, and they went out on the beach together," Armato said. "Sinjin gave him a few lessons, and the next thing you know Shaq
is pounding the ball straight down."

Unlucky Olympian
McPeak is the only American beach volleyball player to appear in both Olympic tournaments, but she was unlucky each time. Nancy Reno, her partner in 1996, came up with a torn rotator cuff. Misty May, her partner last year in Sydney, suffered from an abdominal muscle pull. Both teams finished in fifth place at the games.

Ex-champs on TV
Chris Marlowe and Mike Dodd were in the broadcast booth for the Fox Sports Net
telecast of Sunday's finals. It will be aired Aug. 27 at 3 p.m. Both announcers are
previous winners of open and pro tournaments in Santa Barbara. Marlowe
and Jim Menges were champions in 1977, while Dodd and Tim Hovland took the
AVP crown here in 1982. Dodd was a silver medalist with Mike Whitmarsh in the 1996 Olympics.

Where's Gaby?
The women on the AVP Tour know how the tennis players feel about Anna Kournikova. "People ask us all over the world, Where's Gabrielle Reece? Isn't she the best?" McPeak said. Reece, a statuesque and sexy 6-foot-3 model, has been featured in many ads as a volleyball star. She played primarily on the erstwhile four-woman tour. She played some doubles in 1999 -- teaming up with McPeak, in fact -- but she never won a tournament. "We need to create our own superstars," McPeak said. "We have great athletes with interesting personalities."

Star search
Former National Hockey League enforcer Marty McSorley was watching Sunday's
action with his friend Leanne Schuster, who finished in fifth place with her playing
partner Nancy Mason. Armato has been romantically linked to Holly McPeak. He was seen pacing along the edge of the parking lot, about 40 yards from the court, during her tense semifinal match. Another celebrity sighting at the tournament was actor Rob Lowe ("The West Wing").

Un-grand Canyon
Canyon Ceman wasn't pleased with himself after committing 12 errors in a 22-20,
21-13 semifinal loss to Dax Holdren-Todd Rogers. "That semi was all me," said Ceman, who finished third with Mike Whitmarsh. "We could have been playing two midgets and
still lost. I kept hitting it in the net. I was like a poltergeist."

Young and old
George Roumain is from Florida, but he spent his senior year in high school at
Santa Ynez, helping the Pirates win a CIF championship. The 25-year-old U.S.
indoor star has a lot of friends in the area.He spent the night before his debut with
Sinjin Smith hanging out with Chad Arneson of Santa Barbara. "I was so antsy and nervous, I had a couple glasses of wine," Roumain said. The 44-year-old Smith had reason to be
nervous too. During their match against Karch Kiraly and Scott Ayakatubby, the
two players almost collided with each other chasing a loose ball."I don't want to run into him," Smith said of the 249-pound Roumain. "If I did, it would end my career sooner than I planned.

At Age 44, Smith Draws Line in Sand-Beach volleyball: Legendary player plans to end his career at Manhattan Beach Open.
By MIKE BRESNAHAN, Los Angeles TIMES STAFF WRITER
Sinjin Smith To Retire

Sinjin Smith, one of the top players and most recognizable names in volleyball
history, will retire in two weeks after the Manhattan Beach Open.
Smith, 44, won two national titles at UCLA and parlayed his indoor talents into
international fame and fortune as a pro beach volleyball player.
Smith, who has had six surgeries on his right knee, has won 139 career beach
volleyball tournaments, second only to archrival Karch Kiraly (142). "He
doesn't want to quit, but he knows it's time," said his wife, Patty. A resident
of Pacific Palisades, Smith finished 17th with partner Carl Henkel at a
tournament Friday in Belgium. He was unavailable for comment.
Smith and former partner Randy Stoklos won 113 tournaments from 1982-93, making
them the most successful team in beach volleyball history.
"He was an incredible example of a paradigm beach volleyball player from the
traditional days when the typical match lasted three-and-a-half hours," said
Leonard Armato, chief executive officer of the Assn. of Volleyball
Professionals and Smith's former agent. "Everyone has to pay tribute to him."
Smith's top finish this year was fifth place with Henkel at Clearwater Beach,
Fla., in April. He has won $19,788 this year.
Smith, ostracized by the AVP and several fans for choosing to play solely on
the international tour since 1994, was brought back to the domestic tour when
it was purchased in May by Armato.
"It's really great to see all the people that saw me play 20-some-odd years
ago," Smith said in June at the Hermosa Beach Open.
The Manhattan Beach Open is Aug. 24-26. Smith has won it five times dating to 1979.
Smith was an All-American at UCLA in 1978 and 1979 and played for national
championship teams in 1976 and 1979. In 1991, he became the first volleyball
player inducted into UCLA's athletic hall of fame.
In 1996, Smith played in one of the top beach volleyball matches in history,
losing with Henkel to Kiraly and Kent Steffes, 17-15, in a qualifying round of
the Atlanta Olympics. Kiraly and Steffes went on to win the gold medal.
Kiraly, Smith's teammate at UCLA and former beach partner, was surprised by Smith's decision to retire.
"Sinjin still seems to be playing pretty well and getting some decent
finishes," said Kiraly, 40, who won 21 beach tournaments with Smith before they split in '84.
FYI - The Manhattan Beach appearance will be Sinjin Smith's 16th. In 15
previous events, Smith has won six titles, placed second six times, third one
and 13th twice. Here are Sinjin's Manhattan podium finishes.

1979 won with Jim Menges
1980 won with Karch Kiraly

Beach Sunset-Sinjin Smith Is Leaving Behind a Lasting Imprint in the Sand
By MIKE BRESNAHAN, TIMES STAFF WRITER
Sinjin Smith leans forward in his chair at a bustling Pacific Palisades deli and points to his biggest adversary. No, not Karch Kiraly. It's Smith's right knee. The knee used to be a willing co-conspirator, helping Smith win 139 tournaments, second most in history, while thrusting him into a cultural spotlight as the top man on the sand. But after six operations, the knee has had enough. Smith,44, is retiring after the Michelob Light Manhattan Beach
Open, which continues today and ends Sunday......

Beach legend Sinjin Smith to retire
By David Leon Moore, USA TODAY
LOS ANGELES
When Sinjin Smith finished a brilliant volleyball career at UCLA in 1979, he never dreamed of playing professional beach volleyball for the next 22 years. "Absolutely not," Smith says. "Back then most guys played on the beach a few years, and then they had to go get a job." Smith, however, turned beach volleyball into a job and a good one......

QUOTES.
Barbra Fontana: "It's never over until we get to 21 and today we were playing a
great team. We played very hard and we wanted to be more aggressive and it
showed. We've come a long we as a team, but we still have a ways to go. We can
both play on either side of the court which really helps us. Being back home
again after a summer in Europe for a week really relaxed us and it was obvious
today. We did a good job staying together when Lisa and Holly came from six
points down in the second game to tie us at 19-19. "
        Elaine Youngs: "I went back to serving the way I used too when I played with
Liz (Masakayan)-not caring who I was serving to every time. Barb was very
flexible in this tournament mentally, changing things up because we had gotten
kind of static in our play. Siding out was the difference in this match, we
scored when they served a lot more than the opposite. We also got a couple of
breaks for a change at the end of the second game when they made some
mistakes."

twice to go up 4-2. Fonoimoana/Heidger respond with four straight points to
lead 6-4 at the first side change. Exchanging points, Metzger/Wong get the lead
back at 9-8 after a Metzger kill off a Heidger block attempt. Continuing their
sea-saw battle, Metzger/Wong move ahead slowing to three-point leads at 15-12
on a Wong block, 16-13 on a Wong cross court kills and 17-14 as Metzger rolls
in a winner. After another point exchange, Metzger/Wong pull further ahead with
two more points off a Wong kill and a Wong block, increasing their lead to
20-15. Fonoimoana/Heidger score twice and Wong goes way up with a high line

tied five times before the first side change, 5-5. Metzger/Wong regain the
lead, scoring three points to go up 8-6 off of three Wong blocks. Nobody's
giving quarter, though, and the score is tied again at 12-12 and Fonoimoana

it right back up with another block off Fonoimoana's hit. It's tied again aat
14-14 and 15-15 when Fonoimoana/Heidger take a time out. The struggle continues
with ties at 16-16, 17-17, 18-18 before Fonoimoana/Heidger stay alive in the
championship match with three unanswered points to win the game, 21-18. The
last point came from a Wong kill of a Heidger block attempt.
(Metzer/Wong win Game 3, 15-10 )

returns the favor off Fonoimoana's serve to tie it up at 1-1. Metzger/Wong

change. Heidger responds with his own strong kill down the line and Metzger
answers again with a dink cut shot to keep the four-point lead at 13-9. Metzger
gets another kill to close to 13-10. Wong then goes down the line, 14-10 and
Metzger goes down the line to win the game and gold medal, 15-10. There was
only one tie in the game (1-1) and one lead change (3-2) when Metzger/Wong took

winners.
        Heidger contributed a game-high 46 attacks, three digs, and a game-high 25
kills.
QUOTES:
        Metzger: "That's a great team we beat today. And to think they have only
played two tournaments together. I gave up indoor volleyball after college and
knew the beach was for me. Kevin and I have great chemistry on the court, even
though we are so opposite in size, style and emotion. We are complimenting each
other really good, but it's still unbelievable to win two AVP tournaments in a
row, especially when you consider the competition. I'm in good shape,this is
our 12th straight week of playing and I hope we can stay in the groove we're in right now."
Wong: "I can't believe my name is going up on the Manhattan Beach Pier with all
those legends like Karch (Kiraly) and Sinjin (Smith). It took three games to
win but we never felt totally in control, although we did start to get a little
advantage in the final game. That's a scary team we were playing today. It
feels so good to play on our home turf in the U.S. after all those months in
Europe. I'm incredibly excited about the new AVP and look forward to spending
most of my summer next year in my own country. But after the Goodwill Games,
I'm looking forward to going to Las Vegas and leaving a winner."

With Australia tasting gold at the Sydney Olympics, the atmosphere will be electric during the seven days of 2001 Goodwill Games Beach Volleyball competition, from Wednesday, August 29 to Tuesday, September 4.
The contest will see 64 of the world's top beach volleyballers, including home-grown gold medalists Natalie Cook and Kerri Pottharst, battle it out at South Bank Piazza in male and female two-person team events.
The South Bank Piazza, positioned in the heart of Brisbane's tropical South Bank complex and the Games Hub, will offer spectators world-class action in a dynamic riverside setting.
Beach volleyball made its debut in a major international multi-sport competition at the 1994 St Petersburg Goodwill Games in Russia and remains a favourite of Goodwill Games spectators. Australia's recent outstanding form in the sport will ensure the event is a huge

Goodwill Beach Volleyball Fever is Rising
OLYMPIC gold medallists Kerri Pottharst and Natalie Cook are in Brisbane today to give the world's travel buyers a first-hand taste of the excitement of the 2001 Goodwill Games.
Australia's star beach volleyball pair took to the specially designed sand court at the Australian Tourism Exchange, as part of a fun promotion for the Goodwill Games.
Beach Volleyball is certainly a hit with Goodwill Games spectators with more than 60 per cent of seats already booked out. The tickets are the cheapest of all the Goodwill Games ticketed sports, starting at just $10 per adult, per session.
Kerri and Natalie will compete in a field of 64 world-class athletes - 16 women and 16 men's pairs - from August 29 to September 4 at South Bank Piazza, for a total prize purse of $US300,000.
The seven day competition is shaping up to be one of the most exciting of the 14 sports, with Games' organisers planning some fun entertainment to provide additional hype for spectators.
The competition draw will be announced following the World Championships in Austria in early August.
The South Bank Piazza will be transformed into a beach setting with more than 1050 tonnes of sand to be poured into the main arena and an adjacent practice court.
Additional grandstands will boost the venue's capacity to 2200, with two sessions of competition being played each day. Four days of play will take place in a single elimination format, with first round losers advancing to the classification round, and winners to the medals round.
South Bank Piazza will begin to be transformed from about August 17, when overlay specialists and organisers begin the bump-in process.
Plenty of seats still remain for sessions on August 29, 30 and 31 and September 3 and 4. The Saturday and Sunday sessions on September 1 and 2 have already booked out. Tickets are available at Ticketek outlets throughout the country, by phone on 133 877 or visit www.ticketek.com.

Loiola & Ricardo Upset World Champions to take gold
Goodwill Games, Men 2001
Brisbane, Australia 29 Aug. - 4 Sep
Second-seeded Jose Loiola and Ricardo Santos completed a Brazilian sweep of the gold medals in the Beach Volleyball competition at the 2001 Goodwill Games in Brisbane by defeating 2001 World Champions Mariano Baracetti and Martin Conde from Argentina.
They scored a 2-0 (21-14, 21-13) victory in 35 minutes over the top-seeded Argentineans to split the US$ 30,000 first-place prize, while the Argentineans settled for US$ 24,000 and the silver medal
By winning both the men’s and women’s 2001 Goodwill Games gold medals, Brazil duplicated the feat they achieved at the 1998 Goodwill Games in New York where Para/Guilherme won the men’s title and Adriana Behar/Shelda won the women’s crown.
In the bronze medal match, USA captured its third straight Goodwill Games medal when fourth-seeded Metzger/Wong defeated their American rivals Fonoimoana/Heidger 23-21 and 21-19 in 52 minutes.

Arce & Wong Capture Paul Mitchell Pro Beach Volleyball Crowns

LAS VEGAS, NEV. - Lisa Arce and Kevin Wong were the "big" winners here Sunday
(September 9) on the sand at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino as the pair captured
the $150,000 Paul Mitchell Queen and King of the Beach crowns.

Arce won her first and third match Sunday while keeping in close in the second
to capture the Paul Mitchell Queen of the Beach title and $20,250 in prize
money on the sand at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.

Arce clinched the title by scoring a 21-17 and 21-16 win with Elaine Youngs
over Holly McPeak and Sarah Straton in 42 minutes. McPeak had entered the
final match with a 2-0 record with both Arce and Youngs sporting a 1-1 match mark Sunday.

Sunday's QOB title was Arce's second as she won the 1998 title in Huntington
Beach, Calif. Youngs placed second to earn $16,250 as she edged McPeak for the
spot due to point ratio (1.016 to 0.969). McPeak, the 1999 Queen of the Beach,
earned $10,750 for placing third while Straton finished fourth to net $4,250.
Barbra Fontana, the 2000 Queen of the Beach, was eliminated Saturday after
finishing behind Arce and Straton in pool play.

Wong used a 21-19 win with Stein Metzger in the first set of Sunday's final
men's match over Mike Whitmarsh and Brent Doble to capture the King of the
Beach title. Wong became only the second player in Association of Volleyball
Professionals (AVP) history to win the KOB crown in his first appearance. David Swatik was the first in 1999.

Whitmarsh, the 2000 King of the Beach, finished second to earn $12,000 while
Doble and Metzger tied for third. Metzger, who played the 2001 pro beach
volleyball season with Wong, earned $11,000 over three days of competition.
Doble, a winner of two AVP team titles this season with Lee LeGrande, won $7,500.

Wong, who captured three pro beach team titles this season along with a Broze
Medal last week at the Goodwill Games in Brisbane, Australia with Metzger, has
now won $101,050 in 2001 to lead all United States pro beach players. Metzger
is second with $91,050.

The 10th annual Paul Mitchell King & Queen of the Beach, being hosted for the
fifth consecutive year by the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, concluded
the eight-stop 2001 AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Tour. The special tournament had
players switching partners for each match.

The official entries for The Paul Mitchell King & Queen of the Beach were
identified with a player's top three finishes during the 2001 domestic season
determining the top 14 players in each gender for Las Vegas. Echo
Entertainment of Studio City, Calif., taped The Paul Mitchell King & Queen of
the Beach action for broadcast September 19 on FOX Sports Net. Chris Marlowe
and Heather Cox handled the commentary.

QUOTES.
        Lisa Arce: "I knew I would have to win all of my matches with this much
competition and I had great partners today. Sarah Straton played just awesome
on Friday and that helped me get off to a great start. In this final match
against Sarah and Holly (McPeak), we got the momentum early and it pushed out
to a big lead. In game two, they started the game playing great defense until
we were tied at 8-8. We got just enough momentum going again, but I just hoped
I wouldn't run out of gas in the heat. I surprised people when I won in 1998,
but this year everybody expected me to play well. Nobody was taking me for
granted, but the match ups worked in my favor this year."
