AVP Womens News - TV Update * OLD 2002 information below,stay tuned as to what AVP women's events will be scheduled for broadcast on this network in 2005.
NEW YORK (Variety) - Geraldine Laybourne's Oxygen Media will cablecast five of the seven women's Assn. of Volleyball Professionals (AVP) tournaments this summer. The deal is consistent with Oxygen's recently announced strategy of focusing only on high-visibility women's sports. Six weeks ago, Oxygen laid off 20 people in its sports division, reducing the number of events from 31 per year to about 12. Lydia Stephans, president and executive producer of Oxygen Sports, called the AVP tournaments "the premier women's beach volleyball competition in the world." In addition to the five Oxygen cablecasts, the AVP will get three live broadcasts on NBC. Oxygen's five cablecasts will run on consecutive Sunday afternoons at 2, beginning June 9.

AVP Hour on the radio
Courtesy of Hugo Rec.Sport.Volleyball In yesterday's LA Times (May 17, 2002), a column written by Larry Stewart, he mentiones that: "Karch Kiraly and Sinjin Smith will co-host a new weekly show, "The AVP Hour," on KMPC (1540 AM) Thursdays, 7-8 p.m., beginning next week (May 23, 2002)." However, I listened to KMPC earlier today (Sat. May 18) and I heard a commercial for it and "Geeter" (Chris McGee) said that he and Sinjin will be hosting this new weekly show. He also said that if you don't listen you'll get sand kicked in your face! ;-) Anyway, whoever is hosting, it's good to know that the vball community is getting high profile ambassadors of the game to get the word out about beach volleyball on the radio! Yay volleyball! I hope that we can continue this well into the future. :-) Hugo Hey Hugo,Thanks for the info.Any coverage of the AVP by its Players is welcome news.By the way Ian Clark has had his own radio show of sorts on Live365 for over 2 years now.Take a listen to DJ Slimknicky1 at the following link: Listen!!! to "I-RADIO AVP" IMAN'S Broadcasting in Stereo!!!24/7 Featuring "DJ- KNICKY" playing all the hits for AVP fans!!!

Local Olympians among Walk of Fame honorees by David Rosenfeld of the Easy Reader December 2, 2004 Johnette Latreille spikes a set from her partner Jean Brunicardi, who passed away in 2003. The pair won the first three John Shaw Opens, starting in 1966. Beach volleyball Olympians Holly McPeak and Kerri Walsh were among the women honored with plaques on the Manhattan Volleyball Walk of Fame during a ceremony at the pier on December 4. Other honorees included legends Kathy Gregory, Nina Matthies, Karolyn Kirby, Liz Masakayan, and Nancy Reno and current stars Elaine Youngs, Barbara Fontana, Jenny Johnson Jordan, Annett Davis, and Misty May. The plaques recognize winners of the women's Manhattan Beach Open, dating back to its founding as the John Shaw Open in 1966. Every past winner was been invited. "It's a little late in coming, but at least we're getting it done," said Charlie Saikley, who helped establish the walk of fame for winners of the men's Manhattan Open eight years ago. "The torch of beach volleyball will be carried by the women." Saikley was one of the founders of the women's tournament, named after the city's then superintendent of recreation, whom Saikley lobbied for nearly a year before receiving permission to organize the women's tournament. Saikley, who still works for the city, undertook a similar lobbying effort to get the women's names added to the Walk of Fame. The early Manhattan tournaments were the first to lower the nets for the women. There were no professional players' organizations and cities throughout California put on their own tournaments with only modest prize money. The John Shaw Open was held from 1966 to 1986, when it was replaced by the Women's Professional Volleyball Association tournament. The WPVA was disbanded following the 1994 open. As a result women were not represented at the dedication of the Walk of Fame in 1996, which recognized the male winners of every Manhattan Beach open, dating back to 1960. The women's open was resurrected in 2001 under the umbrella of the city and Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP). "My fondest volleyball memories are from Manhattan," said Gregory, winner of seven John Shaw Opens between 1969 and 1983. Gregory is now the head coach of the University of California at Santa Barbara's volleyball team, which will compete this week in the national championships in Atlanta. Matthies, who also won seven Manhattan tournaments in the 70s and 80s, is now the head coach of the women's team at Pepperdine University in Malibu. She said her fondest memories were working with the city recreation department to set up the tournament. Manhattan was a prestigious tournament, she said, because Saikley and others took special care to rake the sand. "For me it's pretty neat," Matthies said. "I'm really happy for a lot of the women and gals who will get their names down there." Fonoi in on deal at Dig for Kids night December 6, 2004 AVP Commissioner Leonard Armato poses with Olympic Bronze Medalist Holly McPeak at the Dig For Kids Winter Wonderland Gala. Shortly after bringing home a gold medal from the Sydney Olympics in 2000, Eric Fonoimoana established Dig for Kids. The program offers academic and athletic coaching for less fortunate Southern California elementary school students. December 4 at Sangria Restaurant on Hermosa Beach's Pier Plaza, Fonoimoana and fellow Dig for Kids' coach Albert Hanneman hosted the annual Dig for Kids Holiday Casino Night. Winners at the tables cashed in their chips for raffle tickets. Raffle items included trips to Mexico and Las Vegas, Dodgers and Red Sox memorabilia and volleyball instruction by Fonoimoana. Along with Fonoimoana and Hanneman, AVP Stars in attendance at the semi formal event included Holly McPeak, Mike Lambert, Casey Jennings, Matt Fuerbringer, Adam Jewell, and Dain Blanton. All proceeds helped to raise funds that go toward two 10-week programs to be held this year at Carson High for over 100 students from eight surrounding elementary schools. "We give the kids two hours of help with school work and home work and an hour of sports training," Fonoimoana said. He and Hanneman are assisted by Hermosa resident Janine Moulton, as well as by fellow AVP players

Nancy Mason on Partner Swapping May 25, 2005 Courtesy Of AVP To send Nancy Mason your questions just email askthepros@avp.com and remember to put Nancy Mason in the subject line. Hi Nancy, I am a big fan and hope that your new partner switch will pay off and get you over the hump in 2005. What key traits should one look for in choosing a partner? How do opposites attract? Why did you feel it was necessary to switch partners? Thanks, Rick St. Louis Hi Rick (in St. Louis. Did you know that I am from Belleville? I love the hometown support) As I wrote last week, one of the biggest factors in my partner switch was physical. I just felt I could potentially have more success with a bigger partner. Nowadays, it's harder for the medium sized players (like myself and Carrie) to match-up with teams with the likes of EY, Walsh, Kessy, etc. Other things to consider when choosing a partner are chemistry, experience and the level of commitment each of you has made to competing. You don't want to partner up with someone who's just a "weekend warrior" if your goals are to compete at a higher level. Good chemistry is not always easy to come by. At our level, anyone can step on the court and play pretty well together. When it really matters and starts to show (or disappear) is when you're in a 3 set battle and the score is tight&..How do you feel when you look over at that person? If there is total trust and you feel relaxed, you've found a winner. Good luck with your search! Nancy Hi Nancy, Since I'm a guy I hope you won't think I'm asking this question with any questionable intent. It's a question that my coed partner and I have discussed many times. On the men's tour the player's attire is generally long baggy shorts and full tank tops seem to be acceptable as well. But on the womens side it's always Bikinis and often it seems like the smaller the better. Now as a guy I'm not complaining but we were wondering if there are dress codes on the women's tour that specifies that you must wear a bikini? And are there specifications on how big or how small they can or must be? If it's cold we've seen women wearing the long spandex outfits but I've never seen a woman wearing just regular old shorts or one piece bathing suits while playing. I realize that bikinis are more suited to the beach but my partner has played in her bikini before and found it uncomfortable at times and also difficult to keep on when diving and rolling around on defense. On one occasion her strap popped completely leaving her to play out the point half exposed trying to keep covered. Do horror stories like that happen regularly on the women's tour? And are the bikinis you wear specially made to be more comfortable and less likely to "slip" or break? Thanks, DI and JS Pittsburgh PA DI and JS, I certainly don't doubt your intent here. Our "uniforms" are always a topic of debate. I can't really speak for the men and what they deem comfortable. (I don't think many of them are out there in tank tops, though). As far as a dress code, the AVP requires that each team wear matching bathing suits. They don't have to be exact, but the colors should be close. The AVP management prefers to have us in bathing suits, but they are super lenient when it comes to bad weather. Once you get used to it, bikinis are very comfortable to play in. It does take some research (trial and error) to find the best style and fit. I have witnessed and experienced a wardrobe malfunction with the top of a bikini. One time is all it takes to make sure it never happens again. Thanks, Nancy Hello Nancy, It was just announced the Karch and Lambo are splitting up. What is your take? What do you think would happen to the women's side if Misty and Kerri were to split? Thank You, Shannon Portland Hi Shannon, The Karch/Lambo split is big news. My guess would be that Karch was upfront with Mike about the future and where Mike should be heading. Besides being the greatest of all time in the sand, Karch is honorable, respectful and honest. I'm glad he is still going to be out there representing us every weekend. If Misty and Kerri were to split, it would just add 2 more excellent teams to our mix. People would probably be quick to assume that Kerri would pick up whoever she wanted and continue on winning. But, anyone who's actually competed against them may tell you differently. An easy example is the Queen of the Beach last year where Netty picked up Misty and won the title. Bottom line, they'll both be successful, no matter who they are playing with. That being said, I wouldn't expect to see a split anytime in the near future. Thanks, Nancy Mason Send me your questions at askthepros@avp.com. Just remember to put my name in the subject line. AVP Men By the Numbers May 25, 2005 Courtesy Of AVP The 2005 AVP men are learning early on that it is tough to be number 1. Through four tournaments in 2005 the number one seed has only made one final and only two semifinal appearances. In three of the four tournaments the number one seed has been knocked into the contender's bracket in the third round. In Fort Lauderdale number one seeded Mike Lambert & Karch Kiraly lost to 8th seeded Larry Witt & Sean Rosenthal 23-21, 22-20 in the third round. And in Austin, the 8th seeded Matt Fuerbringer & Casey Jennings beat Lambert & Kiraly 21-18, 21-14 also in the third round. The third round jinx continued last weekend in Santa Barbara as number one seed Stein Metzger & Jake Gibb fell to the eventual runner-ups and 9th seeded Todd Rogers & Sean Scott 21-15, 21-15. With the win in Santa Barbara, Jeff Nygaard & Dax Holdren grabbed hold of the top ranking entering the 2005 San Diego Open and hope to put an end to the third round jinx. If one is the loneliest number, than it take two to make a thing go right... The number two seed has won two of the four AVP events this year, finished third in Austin, and fifth in Fort Lauderdale. Heading to San Diego Metzger & Gibb will carry the precious second seed. Gibb & Metzger have put together a great season in the early going as they have won twice, finished second once and third once. A victory in San Diego will guarantee Gibb & Metzger the top spot, the big check and the number one seed jinx. It's Anyone's Game Four events deep and it is clear on the Men's side that anyone can win. While there have three different winners, a better view of the equal competition comes with a look at the semifinalists in 2005. Of the 16 total semifinal slots this season, so far 10 different teams have made an appearance. The Men's field is at least 12 teams deep as 10 of the top 12 teams have made a semifinal. Arguments could be made that the Men's field is even deeper as the lowest seeded team to reach a semifinal was Scott Wong & Mark Williams in Fort Lauderdale. Williams & Wong made the semis as the 17th seed after qualifying on Friday. Williams & Wong are joined by an 11th seed, a 10th seed, a 9th seed, and two 8th seeds who have reached the semis. Entering San Diego the Men's field remains wide open. Could new teammates Lambert & Eric Fonoimoana or Kiraly & Adam Jewell earn their first victory? Will Nick Lucena & Phil Dalhausser return to their Austin form? Can Gibb & Metzger continue the second seed success? Or will Nygaard & Holdren end the number one jinx? Tune in and find out.

Player Article:
Christian McCaw
For many years, John Hyden and Christian McCaw were two of the stars of the national indoor volleyball team of the USA. Although they finished their career in this kind of volleyball, they took the perfect opportunity to try their luck in beach volleyball. And the US players are successful. Step by step they climb the top of the beach volleyball world and there is no doubt that a new US top team is born. McCaw said farewell to the national indoor team of his country after the 2000 Sydney Olympics, while it took one more year for Hyden to quit with the indoor volleyball. He finished his indoor career in the Italian A1-league playing for Palermo, the club that he still gets a part of his salary from. “The national team broke down,” Hyden said. “There is not enough money anymore, while in our opinion the program is not good enough.” McCaw agreed. “We were not treated like professionals. After six years of indoors it was time for a change. We are both in the late 20’s and playing on the beach is much better for our body” This year is a learning year for Hyden-McCaw. They never played beach volleyball when they were national team members, simply because there was no time and after the moving of the national training centre from US best beach city San Diego to Colorado Springs in the Rocky Mountains there was also no beach in their neighbourhood. But they both have a small beach volleyball background, because Hyden was raised in San Diego. McCaw is originally from the Mid-Western city of Tulsa Oklahoma where his mother coached the only junior volleyball in the state. But he was graduated at Pepperdine University in Malibu California, the beautiful beach community north of Los Angeles. “We try to play as much as we can this year,” Hyden said. “Beach Volleyball is a completely different game.” McCaw: “It is very tough to beat teams that are already together for more than ten years. But we are getting closer and closer.” One advantage is that McCaw, former setter, and former outside hitter Hyden played together in the US national team for many years. “Christian knows exactly how he has to set a ball for me,” Hyden analysed. With the entrance of ‘rookies’ Hyden and McCaw, the concurrence to get a ticket to the 2004 Olympic Games is getting higher and higher in the USA. “Our ultimate goal is to play at the Olympics,” Hyden said. “But it will be tough to get there with so many great US teams in this sport.”

Presented by Bud Light July 21-24 2005
The AVP Nissan Series returns to one of its favorite spots-Hermosa Beach, where many of the top competitors in the sport practice and challenge local residents. The city is proud to once again play host to the top 150 competitors in the sport of beach volleyball, including 16 Olympians.These premier competitors will vie for the top finishes in what promises to be the most compelling season yet. WHO: Top athletes on the men's side include 2000 Olympic Gold Medalist Dain Blanton and three-time Olympic Gold Medalist Karch Kiraly. Top women's teams include Misty May & Kerri Walsh, Rachel Wacholder & Elaine Youngs, Holly McPeak & Jen Kessey EVENT PURSE: $250,000 TOURNAMENT HISTORY: 2003 - Men's Defending Champions - Scott Ayakatubby and Brian Lewis 2003 - Women's Defending Champions - Misty May and Kerri Walsh 2004 - Men's Defending Champions - Eric Fonoimoanna and Kevin Wong In a hard fought match-up before a packed stadium crowd, 2000 Olympic gold medalist Eric Fonoimoana and Kevin Wong defeated Olympic gold medalist Karch Kiraly and Olympian Mike Lambert 22-20, 21-19 at the 2004 AVP Nissan Series Hermosa Beach Open presented by Bud Light. This was the first tournament the team had won since the Manhattan Beach Open the year before. Fonoimoana and Wong went through the tournament unscathed as they swept all six of their opponents. Kiraly and Lambert took a much harder path, having to fight their way to the finals through the contender's bracket.
2004 - Women's Defending Champions - Holly McPeak and Elaine Youngs Hermosa Beach Open presented by Bud Light might have just as well been called the Hollywood Open, given the drama, the surprises and the last minute twists all wrapped up on a stage that was befitting all the attention. Holly McPeak and Elaine Youngs won their fourth straight tournament title facing Kerri Walsh and Misty May. These two rivals had met each other 18 times previously, 13 of which were for a title. May & Walsh had the upper hand, having won each of the 13 meetings prior, including all 10 on the 2004 AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Tour. Their last win on the AVP, in Austin, Texas at the beginning of May 2004, was the spark that started McPeak & Youngs on their win streak -- one that was 22 matches long and consisted of four championships.

George Roumain and Jason Ring: The Men continued their unpredictability as the first four tournaments of 2004 produced four different winners. Since the start of the 2003 season 10 different teams have been victorious in the past 13 tournaments. Roumain had experienced tremendous success in the indoor volleyball arena; to wit, he was named to Volleyball magazine's All-Century Team. A newcomer to the beach game, Roumain played in just his eighth tournament in "Surf City USA." Partnered with Ring for the fourth time, the duo advanced to the Final Four after winning their first five matches as none came easy. Four of the contests required three games and in all but one the third game took more than the standard 15 points to end it.

Saikley Sorely Missed at Manhattan Beach For the first time, the AVP tournament there will be played without the 'godfather of beach volleyball,' who died of cancer in June at 69. By Peter Yoon, Times Staff Writer The Manhattan Beach Open begins today with all the pomp befitting the crown jewel of the Assn. of Volleyball Professionals, but it's also shrouded in sadness. This will be the first Manhattan Beach Open played without Charlie Saikley, the "godfather of beach volleyball." Saikley died of cancer in June at 69. "It's going to be really strange this year," said Karch Kiraly, who has won the Manhattan Beach Open a record eight times. "It's not going to feel quite like Manhattan without him. His smile and love of the game will definitely be missed." Saikley earned his nickname primarily through his work at the Manhattan Beach Open. In the '60s and '70s, as volleyball was working its way to the beach and before the AVP entered the scene, tournaments popped up on dozens of Southern California beaches. Saikley ran the Manhattan Beach tournament. He had the final say about court assignments, referee assignments and team seedings. Sometimes, when play extended into evening, he organized cars to shine their headlights on the court, so play could continue. He allowed 128 teams to play, the most of any other tournament, yet always managed to finish in a weekend. He quickly became known as the best in the business and all the great players made it a point to play at Manhattan Beach. "It was the one tournament every player would go to and that's why it became such a big tournament," Kiraly said. "Charlie was the reason. He turned it into the Wimbledon of beach volleyball." AVP Commissioner Leonard Armato said Saikley's influence reached far beyond the sands of Manhattan. He said Saikley recognized the attraction of the California beach culture and had the foresight to promote it as part of beach volleyball. "He set the tone for the beach lifestyle component … " Armato said. "The Manhattan Beach Open wouldn't be what it is today without his contribution, but neither would the AVP or the Southern California image." Saikley worked for the Manhattan Beach Recreation and Parks Department for more than 40 years and was still involved with the tournament after the AVP took over in 1983. He oversaw such projects as immortalizing Manhattan Beach Open winners by placing plaques with their names on the Manhattan Beach Pier. The "Walk of Fame" — the only shrine of its kind in beach volleyball — added women's tournament winners late last year, at Saikley's urging. Two weeks ago at the Manhattan Beach Six-Man tournament, a Saikley creation, a team of Manhattan Beach legends paid homage to Saikley by wearing shirts silk-screened with his likeness. The AVP tournament continues to grow even after Saikley's death. Wednesday night, the city and the AVP conducted a past champions' dinner during which it honored legends Gene Selznick, Mike Bright, Mike O'Hara, Nina Mathies, Kathy Gregory and Miki McFadden. Plans are for the dinner to become an annual affair. More such special events could be added for the days leading up to the tournament. "It'll be more like Manhattan Beach Open week instead of just the weekend," Kiraly said. The tournament is important enough that it deserves that, Kiraly said. "If a player had to pick one tournament to win in their career, they would pick Manhattan," Kiraly said. "It's the one everyone wants to win." Mostly, that's because of the efforts of one man: Charlie Saikley.
AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Returns to Historic Manhattan Beach for the 44th Time August 18, 2005 Courtesy Of AVP MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif., August 18, 2005 - AVP Pro Beach Volleyball returns to Manhattan Beach Friday for the AVP Nissan Series Manhattan Beach Open presented by Bud Light. For the past 44 years, the historic tournament has become one of the most prestigious stops on the AVP Tour. The main draw of the AVP Nissan Series Manhattan Beach Open begins Friday, Aug. 19 and will take place from 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Top-seeded Olympic gold medalists Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh will play Michelle Morse and Stephanie Roberts in their first match of the tournament on center court at 9 a.m. On the men's side, newly reunited partners Karch Kiraly and Mike Lambert, coming off their win in Huntington Beach, will play against Steve Grotowski and Adam Roberts. Kiraly, a three-time Olympic gold medalist, and Lambert won the AVP Nissan Series Manhattan Beach Open in 2004. Six different teams have won events in the AVP Men's Division in 2005. Matt Fuerbringer and Casey Jennings and Olympian Stein Metzger and Jake Gibb, are the only multiple winners in an AVP event this season. Following their win at the AVP Nissan Series Huntington Beach Open, Rachel Wacholder and Elaine Youngs gained momentum on May-Treanor and Walsh, closing the point's gap between the two teams. Wacholder and Youngs will play Nicki Fusco and Alicia Zamparelli in their first match of the day Friday. Main draw competition and the women's finals will take place on Saturday, Aug. 20 from 7:50 a.m-5:00 p.m. Main draw competition and the men's finals are on Sunday, Aug. 21 from 9:00 a.m.-2:30 p.m. General admission to the tournament is free. Courtside reserved tickets are available by logging onto www.avp.com. Television coverage of the men and women's finals will air on NBC Saturday and Sunday at 1:30 PST/4:30 p.m. EST.
AVP hits Manhattan Beach Press-Telegram staff reports The Association of Volleyball Professionals tour will continue its stop near the Manhattan Beach Pier today as last year's defending champions will return, though they are not the top seeds. In the men's division, Karch Kiraly and Mike Lambert return after a short layoff to defend their 2004 title. But they are not the top-seeded duo this year. Jake Gibb and Stein Metzger are the top-seeded men's pair in the $250,000 tournament. Kiraly and Lambert are seeded seventh despite coming off a win last week at the Huntington Beach Open. The 2004 women's champions, Holly McPeak and Elaine Youngs, will not defend their Manhattan Beach title as they have split and have new teammates. The top-seeded women's duo is former Long Beach State star Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh. McPeak and her new partner, Jennifer Kessy, are the tournament's third-seeded women's pair, while Youngs and teammate Rachel Wacholder are the second-seeded duo. Last year, May-Treanor (then Misty May) and Walsh were upset by Annett Davis and Jenny Johnson Jordan to end their 89-match winning streak. The Godfather' left imprint at Manhattan Beach Open This weekend marks the first time the South Bay AVP event will be played without Charlie Saikley, whose spirit and influence is felt still. By Phil Collin Daily Breeze Footprints in the sand don't last long, unless they were left by Charlie Saikley in Manhattan Beach. The 45th Manhattan Beach Open gets underway in earnest this morning, with men and women chasing $250,000 in prize money playing in the beach volleyball tournament that is second to none, thanks to the Godfather of Beach Volleyball. Saikley, who died on June 17 at 69, was also the soul of this tournament, running it for years from his wooden stand, microphone in hand as he assigned players to courts and acted as a good-natured final arbiter for thousands of disputes. For the first time since the early 1960s, the Manhattan Open goes on without him. "It will be a great void,'' AVP Commissioner Leonard Armato said. "The past few years, the tournament has become stylized and super professional, and he was responsible for creating the aura of the events. "He was the first person who connected up the competition and the lifestyle, and he was also very progressive in the way he treated the tournament. He was the motivating force to get the winners' plaques on the (Manhattan Beach) Pier, and making sure the women were treated equally. "His footprints are still there. Everybody is thinking of him, definitely.'' And so is his own plaque, which was awarded to him on a Saturday morning two years ago before the Six-Person tournament that he also customized got underway. Only about 10,000 of his closest friends showed up. Even in the times when the city and the AVP went through pains to combine their efforts to pull off the "Wimbledon of Beach Volleyball,'' Saikley's influence became the calming factor between the factions of tradition and progress. "He was the voice of reason,'' Armato said. "He was the bridge of residents in the community and the desire of beach volleyball to become more professional yet maintain the small-town character balanced against the desire of the AVP to grow into a 21st century sport, a full entertainment event for its fans.'' So the stadium went up on the south side of the Pier, and that's where the latest storylines will play out this weekend. For the first time in years on the women's side of the tour, there is actually a question as to who will win. Olympic gold medalists Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor have dominated for years, but this summer have been beaten three times by Elaine Youngs and Rachel Wacholder. In fact, Youngs and Wacholder scored a resounding 21-15, 21-6 win in the Huntington Beach Open final last week. The women's final, to be televised live nationally, is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Saturday. Youngs won last year's title when she teamed with Holly McPeak. And on the men's side, six different teams have won the nine tournaments, but a significant turn of the tide may have occurred last week when Karch Kiraly and Mike Lambert captured the Huntington title. That was their first tournament together since they split after three events and a finish no higher than seventh as Kiraly's shoulder was still recovering from offseason surgery. Now Kiraly, with a record 148 career titles, is back to defend the Manhattan crown he won with Lambert a year ago. Kiraly is the all-time leader with eight victories in the Manhattan Open. Sunday's men's final will also be nationally televised at 1:30 p.m. The top seeded team for the tournament is Stein Metzger and Jake Gibb, who have won three titles this season, but their July 10 championship in New Jersey was their first since April 24 in Tempe, Ariz. A top-seeded men's team has not won on the AVP Tour since the opening event in 2003, a span of 26 tournaments. What: 45th Manhattan Beach Open When: Today-Sunday. Qualifying play was held Thursday with eight men's and women's teams earning spots in the 32-team main draws, which begin today.

May & Walsh, Wacholder & Youngs advance to Semi-finals undefeated in the Manhattan Beach Open Presented by Bud Light August 19, 2005 Courtesy Of AVP Karch Kiraly and Mike Lambert advance to the third round of the men's draw. Women's finals begin Saturday at 1:00 p.m. PST. MANHATTAN BEACH, CALIF. Aug. 19, 2005 - The anticipation continues to grow for a possible rematch of first-seeded Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh against second-seeded Rachel Wacholder and Elaine Youngs. Last weekend at the AVP Huntington Beach Open, Wacholder and Youngs defeated May-Treanor and Walsh, for the second time this season. Defending AVP Manhattan Beach Open Champions, Karch Kiraly and Mike Lambert, advance to the third round of the men's competition. The three-time Olympic gold medalist Kiraly and 2004 AVP Most Valuable Player Lambert are looking to capture their second consecutive title since reuniting last week at the AVP Huntington Beach Open. Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh easily advanced winning all three of their matches Friday in two games. May-Treanor and Walsh will play Saturday at 7:50 a.m. on Feature Court 1. Rachel Wacholder and Elaine Youngs had a harder road to the semi-finals going to three games in their last match against seventh-seeded Dianne DeNecochea and Tammy Leibl 19-21, 21-15, 15-13. Wacholder and Youngs play tomorrow at 7:50 a.m. on Stadium Court against Jen Kessy and Holly McPeak. Top-seeded Jake Gibb and Stein Metzger advance to the third round. Seventh-seeded Kiraly and Lambert will meet second- seeded Matt Fuerbringer and Casey Jennings tomorrow. Men's and women's main draw competition will take place on Saturday, Aug. 20 from 7:50 a.m-5:00 p.m. Women's semi-finals begin at 11 a.m. with the finals at 1:00 p.m. Main draw competition and the men's finals continue on Sunday, Aug. 21 from 9:00 a.m.-2:30. Men's semi-finals begin at 11 a.m. with the finals at 1:00 p.m. General admission to the tournament is free. Courtside reserved tickets are available by logging onto www.avp.com.

This is the fourth event of the Nissan Championship Series, which is comprised of the five biggest beach volleyball tournaments this season. The new format gives players double points for the first four events and the finale will be worth triple points. A champion on both the men's and women's side will be crowned at the Chicago Open on Labor Day weekend. All finals during the Championship Series will be broadcast LIVE on NBC in a consistent time slot of 4:30-6:00 p.m./ET all summer long. The Series continues at the AVP Chicago Beach Open presented by McDonalds Sep. 1-4.
Top Women's Teams on Course for Rematch By Peter Yoon, LA Times Staff Writer The top two women's teams in beach volleyball arrived at the Manhattan Beach Open in different frames of mind Friday, but left the courts near the Manhattan Beach Pier undefeated after opening day, on course for an anticipated final clash. Top-seeded Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh breezed through three matches, giving up 15 or fewer points in each game as they tried to shake off last week's 21-16, 21-15 loss — the most lopsided defeat of their four-year tenure as teammates. Second-seeded Elaine Youngs and Rachel Wacholder, still riding the high from their victory over the Olympic champions last week, also went 3-0 Friday, but struggled a bit in their third match, a 19-21, 21-15, 15-13 victory over seventh-seeded Dianne DeNecochea and Tammy Leibl. "We got here and everyone is congratulating us on last week," Youngs said. "It's hard to get focused on this week, but you have to and we did." May-Treanor and Walsh used a Wednesday practice session to work out the kinks. May-Treanor said she had already put it behind her, but Walsh said the bitter taste would probably remain until she won again. "I hate losing," she said. "It makes me feel ill. It's huge motivation for me. It's a different feeling coming here this week." Both teams need two victories today to set up a final rematch. May-Treanor and Walsh play fifth-seeded Tyra Turner and Makare Wilson today at 7:50 a.m., with a trip to the final four on the line. Youngs and Wacholder will face Holly McPeak and Jennifer Kessy for a berth in the semifinals. The final is at 1 p.m. Karch Kiraly and Mike Lambert, winners last week and the defending Manhattan Beach champions, won their two opening-day matches, including a 21-15, 21-10 breeze against Scott Davenport and Scott Lane in the second round. The men played only two rounds Friday because the tournament runs through Sunday. Kiraly and Lambert play second-seeded Casey Jennings and Matt Fuerbringer, two-time winners this season, today at 11 a.m. Top-seeded Stein Metzger and Jake Gibb barely broke a sweat in their two matches as the top seven seeded men's teams made it through the first day unbeaten.
Youngs, Wacholder look to keep digging up wins The No. 2 seeds have had May-Treanor and Walsh's number lately, and no one will be surprised if they meet for today's Manhattan Beach Open title. By Phil Collin Daily Breeze Elaine Youngs and Rachel Wacholder have somehow managed three times this summer to negotiate the treacherous barrier that Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor present. They must have figured that it's getting so easy on the AVP Tour, they might as well turn it up a notch and accept a real challenge. So after they participate in the FIVB Acapulco Open in late October, they're packing their bags and heading to Kuwait as part of a goodwill tour to boost morale among the troops. Now that's a tough game on the sand. "I'm excited -- if it's safe,'' Wacholder said. "I'm happy. I'm a little bit nervous, but I think it'll be fine and I think it's a really good thing we're doing so I'm glad to be part of it.'' Any trepidation she feels will undoubtedly be salved by Youngs, the one with the sharp sense of humor. "I'm not worried about it,'' Youngs said. "It's like the Olympics, when everybody wondered about that, and I lived in Turkey in the first Gulf War, so I don't worry about stuff like that. I'm more worried about a bomb in a subway.'' And to think it was only Walsh and May-Treanor who made players tremble. Youngs and Wacholder, seeded second, are coming off last week's 21-16, 21-15 thrashing of the 2004 Olympic gold medalists in the Huntington Beach final, and they reached this morning's semifinals of the $250,000 Manhattan Beach Open with three wins on Friday. They'll face third-seeded Holly McPeak and Jen Kessy, while No. 1 seeds May-Treanor and Walsh take on fifth-seeded Tyra Turner and Makare Wilson. The final is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. today and will be televised nationally. "Somebody was asking me if there's a letdown after winning last weekend and there hasn't been, because we're still a new team and we don't have as many wins as they do,'' Youngs said. "Rachel's never experienced winning on the AVP so I don't expect her to get a really big head. She's not like that anyway.'' They had to keep their heads to rally in the quarterfinals to defeat Dianne DeNecochea and Tammy Leibl, 19-21, 21-15, 15-13. They are the only semifinalists to have dropped a game in three matches. Turner and Wilson knocked off fourth-seeded Mimi Marins and Tatiana Minello, 21-16, 21-19. Kessy and McPeak allowed an average of only 11.7 points in their three wins. Walsh and May-Treanor also had an easy road, but they're also learning an unfamiliar part of the game: dealing with defeat. "Yeah, I don't like it,'' Walsh said. "I have a bad taste in my mouth. I hate losing. I'm out here to win, but obviously we've got to keep improving. We've been stagnant for the past couple weeks.'' Stagnant meaning they've only won five tournaments since Youngs and Wacholder's victory in Cincinnati on July 2. "It's just the thing about losing is people's reaction to us,'' Walsh said. "People are like, 'Oh my God, their roll is over, what's going on with you guys? You guys are floundering.' "But you know what? We've won every tournament but two this year and we're busting our butts and we lost to a great team.'' Rosenthal, Witt scratch their way into the quarterfinals at Manhattan The fourth-seeded team benefits from an official's call on a close play in rallying to win at AVP beach volleyball event. By Phil Collin Daily Breeze As stirring as the comeback was, the controversy might have been even better. Perhaps even enough to change the course of the most prestigious of beach volleyball events. The length of Sean Rosenthal's fingernails were the source of the storm on the sand Friday on the first day of the $250,000 AVP Manhattan Beach Open. It happened in the day's best match as fourth-seeded Rosenthal and partner Larry Witt were trying to scratch and claw their way past No. 13 Paul Baxter and Fred Souza and into the quarterfinals. Having dropped the opening game and rallied to win the second, Rosenthal and Witt found themselves down, 13-11, in the third game played to 15 points. Witt came up with an ace down the middle to make it 13-12, then tied it with a huge block. Rosenthal then found himself in a joust at the net against Souza, the 6-foot-7 Brazilian. Souza tried to poke the ball over Rosenthal and the ball floated beyond the baseline, although Baxter and Souza vehemently argued that Rosenthal had deflected the shot. In years past, players were left to police themselves on such calls but Rosenthal didn't utter a peep as Baxter and Souza complained so vociferously they picked up a yellow card. Sure enough, Rosenthal and Witt escaped with an 18-21, 21-19, 15-13 win that took 67 minutes and kept them out of the contenders' bracket. "Yeah, I touched it,'' admitted Rosenthal (Redondo High), "but I had a bad call in game two against me, so payback's a you-know-what. Hey, that's what the refs are there for. "Yeah, you call your own sometimes. Normally I would, most times, but I was not happy at all about that call in the second game. And that's probably what led me to saying nothing on that one. And I barely touched it.'' The key victory pushed them into a quarterfinal match against top-seeded Stein Metzger and Jake Gibb this morning as the men march toward Sunday's final. Metzger and Gibb have won three times on the AVP tour this season, with Rosenthal and Witt seeking their first this season. Rosenthal and Witt were right back in the mix after their heartbreaking 21-15, 24-26, 17-15 loss to Karch Kiraly and Mike Lambert in last week's Huntington Beach Open final. "Losing to Karch in the final, that's not hard to get over,'' Rosenthal said of the sport's all-time win leader. "The guy's a great player, we made a few young mistakes at the end of the match. To win it we had to be mentally strong, but we gave up a few points so it's easy to get over. "You've got to take your losses before your wins.'' Gibb and Metzger had two easy victories that took a combined 75 minutes to reach the quarterfinals. They are trying to become the first top-seeded team in 27 events to win a tournament. Lambert and Kiraly, seeded seventh, face a showdown this morning against second-seeded Casey Jennings and Matt Fuerbringer, who got through Eric Fonoimoana and Albert Hannemann, 17-21, 21-19, 15-12, in a match that took 1:19. Lambert, who began the season with Kiraly before they split up for five events, isn't quite sure that even a victory this weekend would show that they're back in the form of last season, when they won three times and Lambert collected the tour MVP honors. "Geez, I think we'd have to do a lot to prove that, because there are so many good teams on tour right now,'' Lambert said. "If somehow we win Manhattan, it's a great step in trying to prove that, but I don't know if we're out there to necessarily prove that, I think we're out there to have fun. "We just want to go out there and play our game and look at who's won what at the end of the year.''

Aug. 20, 2005 - Misty May Treanor and Kerri Walsh defeated Rachel Wacholder and Elaine Youngs in front of a standing room only crowd at the AVP Manhattan Beach Open. The finals featured a rematch of last weekend's Huntington Beach Open where second-seed Wacholder and Youngs swept May-Treanor and Walsh. In today's rematch, May-Treanor and Walsh beat Wacholder and Youngs 21-23, 22-20, 15-11. Defending AVP Manhattan Beach Open Champions, Karch Kiraly and Mike Lambert, advanced to play Sunday. The duo of Kiraly and Lambert will play fourth-seeded Sean Rosenthal and Larry Witt in an elimination match Sunday morning on Center Court at 9 a.m. The three-time Olympic gold medalist Kiraly and 2004 AVP Most Valuable Player Lambert are looking to capture their second consecutive title since reuniting last week at the AVP Huntington Beach Open. May-Treanor and Walsh's victory today was their fifth in seven championship matches this season against Wacholder and Youngs. Today's win is the 43rd title for the 2004 Olympic Gold Medalist. May-Treanor and Walsh secured their second plaque on the Manhattan Beach Pier honoring their two Manhattan Beach Open Championships. May-Treanor and Walsh spoke about the honor saying, "We're very excited our names are back up on the pier." Walsh added, "It's a great tournament to win and to walk along the pier and see the plaques. It's just such a great thing." Top-seeded Jake Gibb and Stein Metzger were upset by Seventh-seeded Phil Dalhausser and Nick Lucena 21-17, 21-11.

Reports of Their Demise Overstated May-Treanor and Walsh rally in the last two games and defeat Youngs and Wacholder to win the Manhattan Beach Open. By Peter Yoon, Times Staff Writer Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh were reeling, their confidence was flagging and the aura of invincibility that had surrounded them for much of the last three years was slipping away. The Olympic champions delivered a much-needed victory Saturday with a hard-fought 21-23, 22-20, 15-11 decision over Elaine Youngs and Rachel Wacholder in the women's final of the Assn. of Volleyball Professionals Manhattan Beach Open. The victory, in front of a standing-room-only crowd that included the USC football team, WNBA standout Lisa Leslie and former NFL quarterback Warren Moon, avenged a 21-15, 21-16 loss to the same team last week which had equaled the most lopsided loss of their four years as teammates. "We needed a little morale boost," May-Treanor said. "After last week, this was huge. It would have been easy for us to crumble this weekend knowing that they beat us the weekend before, and we didn't. We stuck in there and we fought." After trailing, 15-16, May-Treanor and Walsh rallied to win the second game then fell behind, 4-1, in Game 3 before improved defensive play led to a 9-1 run, a 10-5 lead and control of the match. In the semifinal, they squeaked past Holly McPeak and Jennifer Kessy, 21-19, 22-24, 15-13. "We fought the entire weekend," Walsh said. "We played a grueling schedule and had very little time off between our matches and we played great teams and we did well so it was big." Wacholder and Youngs had their chances. They tied the score in the second game, 20-20, when Youngs blocked a kill attempt by May, but Youngs put the next serve in the net to give May-Treanor and Walsh a 21-20 lead. Walsh then sent it to a third game with a cut shot that hit the sideline. Despite the loss, Wacholder said she and Youngs have nothing to hang their heads about because they have changed the landscape of women's volleyball with two victories over May-Treanor and Walsh this season and a 2-3 record in their last five meetings. "They used to come out and everyone watching was like, 'Here it goes again, they're going to win,' " Wacholder said of May-Treanor and Walsh. "Now I don't know if anyone's sure who's going to win." Walsh said that she and May-Treanor haven't reached their peak this season, nearly a year after their gold-medal victory in the Athens Olympics. Because of a hectic schedule, they had practiced only twice in the last 10 weeks, she said. "We did some great things today, but we haven't hit that fifth gear yet. It's coming. I feel it coming because we're hungry. Today was all heart and we fought." Added May-Treanor: "Our game is going to come together and when it does, it's going to be scary." Defending men's champions Karch Kiraly and Mike Lambert went 1-1 Saturday and will play Sean Rosenthal and Larry Witt today at 9 a.m. for a spot in the final four. Dax Holdren and Jeff Nygaard defeated Kiraly and Lambert, 21-17, 16-21, 15-13, and earned a semifinal berth. Phil Dalhausser and Nick Lucena also advanced to the semifinals with a 21-19, 19-21, 15-9 upset over top-seeded Stein Metzger and Jake Gibb. Metzger and Gibb can reach the semifinals through the contender's bracket. The men's semifinals are at 11 a.m., the final at 1 p.m.
Tight finish in women's final By Sean Martin, Special to the Daily News MANHATTAN BEACH - Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh returned to the winners' circle Saturday at the Association of Volleyball Professionals Manhattan Beach Open. May-Treanor and Walsh defeated Elaine Youngs and Rachel Wacholder 21-23, 22-20, 15-11 in the women's final. It was the victors' second victory at the Wimbledon of beach volleyball. The final was a rematch of last week's title match at Huntington Beach, which Wacholder and Youngs dominated 21-15, 21-16. They are the only team to defeat May-Treanor and Walsh this season, beating the Athens gold medalists in two finals. Youngs, who teamed with Holly McPeak to win this tournament last year, and Wacholder had plenty of opportunities to win Saturday and add another chapter to a developing rivalry. They held a 4-1 lead in the decisive third game, but May-Treanor and Walsh won nine of the next 10 points. "They were playing extremely well, so to come back from that, we had to do things extra (well)," May-Treanor said. "We had to give more and make the plays that maybe we weren't making in the first set or maybe last week. "We made a couple changes, but it was just a matter of having nothing to lose. They're inspired and going for it. We just had to go out and be aggressive." Wacholder and Youngs won the first game Saturday and tied the score at 20 in the second game before Youngs made a costly error, serving into the net. May-Treanor and Walsh won the next point to force a third game. "I kicked myself about that afterward," said Youngs, a former UCLA star. "I just eased up and didn't go for it like I usually do." The closeness of the match demonstrated that May-Treanor and Walsh, winners of eight of 10 AVP tournaments this season, no longer are guaranteed victors. "I feel like every time we come out there, we think we can win," Wacholder said. "I don't know that they think they're going to win every time, either, and everyone watching isn't thinking, 'Oh God, here it goes again, they're going to win,' and it's good." That point was made in the semifinals, too. May-Treanor and Walsh squeaked by McPeak (UCLA) and Jen Kessy (USC) 21-19, 22-24, 15-13. The teams were tied 13-13 in the third game. Phil Dalhausser, the tallest player on tour at 6-foot-9, and Nick Lucena advanced to today's men's semifinals; so did Dax Holdren and Jeff Nygaard (UCLA). The men's final today begins at 1 p.m. AVP's women's rivalry heats up fast Walsh and May-Treanor struggle but beat their new rivals, Youngs and Wacholder, in Manhattan Beach Open final. By Phil Collin Daily Breeze This was no ho-hum, another championship for Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor. Not that they've ever downplayed any of the 43 titles they've won together on the AVP Tour, but the Olympic gold medal duo has never had to fight so hard, so consistently. It took 1 hour, 17 minutes Saturday at the $250,000 Manhattan Beach Open to finally pull away from their new nemeses, Elaine Youngs and Rachel Wacholder, for a 21-23, 22-20, 15-11 victory, reversing the result of a week ago at Huntington Beach. "People think we have coasted the last four years,'' Walsh said. "We fought, we had a lot of battles. ... We've always had to battle.'' But never more so than recently, with three losses to Wacholder and Youngs this summer. And not to be forgotten is the semifinal, when third-seeded Holly McPeak and Jen Kessy pushed them to the limit before Walsh and May-Treanor escaped with a 21-19, 22-24, 15-13 win that took 64 minutes. "This week, we had nothing to lose,'' said May-Treanor, reflecting an attitude normally reserved for their opponents. "We just wanted to be aggressive.'' Walsh and May-Treanor split the top prize of $28,000, with Youngs and Wacholder sharing $20,000. McPeak and Kessy, along with Tyra Turner and Makare Wilson, shared third place and each team split $12,000. It's the second Manhattan title for Walsh and May-Treanor. Youngs, who won with Barbra Fontana in 2001, also took second last year with McPeak. With last week's Huntington title and their groundbreaking win in Cincinnati the first weekend of July, Youngs and Wacholder have convinced themselves they are just as likely as anyone to win a tournament. And they were on the verge of closing one out in Manhattan, running out to a 4-1 lead in the final game. But even after Walsh and May- Treanor turned up the heat and took control as Youngs and Wacholder suffered a little lapse, their minds didn't change. "Every time we're out there, I think we can win this match,'' Wacholder said. "They think they're going to win every time, too. ... I think now, I don't know if anyone's sure they're going to win.'' Clearly, the second seeds are more sure of their footing when they square up against a team that has won eight of 10 tournaments in 2005. "We could have very easily lost in two, but I thought we battled and we had a lot of fun,'' Youngs said. "We laughed about the play where there was nobody up (to block) and Rachel dug (a straight-down spike by Walsh) off her boobs.'' "At least it wasn't off my face,'' Wacholder pointed out sheepishly. If a little doubt has crept into the No. 1-ranked team's heads, they'll never admit it. "I'm not saying the roles are reversed, but they're winning now,'' May-Treanor said. "They're coming out and they feel comfortable. "Last week, we were a bit more stiff and just kind of on our heels as opposed to us being aggressive.'' For two games, it was a stalemate. Neither team led by more than two points at any time. The first game ended when Youngs blocked May-Treanor; the second ended after Youngs served a ball into the net tied at 20-20. That followed a tough serve by Youngs on May-Treanor, leading to the deadlock. "I kicked myself after that,'' Youngs said. "We were down, 20-19, I had a tough serve to Misty and they didn't get the point. ... Then the next one, I was just trying to go for it. It was definitely a momentum breaker. I just eased up; I didn't go for it like the serve before.'' "When we are aggressive, we score points. When we are not aggressive, they score points.'' The aggression and consistency that has marked the run of Walsh and May-Treanor over the years has been chipped away, they believe, by their travel schedule that not only includes the AVP Tour but trips to Europe for FIVB events. They estimated that their get-together on Wednesday for practice was their second training session in 1½ months. In the meantime, Walsh has been preparing for her wedding to men's standout Casey Jennings, and May-Treanor has tried to carve out time to visit her husband, Florida Marlins catcher Jeff Treanor. "Going overseas is a vacation,'' Walsh said. "There's so much going on at home. There's other things in our life, so we need to get that extreme focus back.'' Beasts from East challenge best in West Floridians Lucena and Dalhausser find themselves with a real shot at winning the AVP Manhattan Beach Open. By Phil Collin Daily Breeze Interlopers! On the hallowed sands of Manhattan! Is it really possible that a team from -- gasp -- the East Coast could win the most treasured prize in beach volleyball? Look, if the rise of Phil Dalhausser and Nick Lucena has caught volleyball purists off-stride, they're not alone. "It's never even really hit us,'' Lucena said, "because we've never really been in the mix.'' The 25-year-old Floridians will have their eyes wide open this morning when they resume their chase in the $250,000 Manhattan Beach Open, which to this point has been dominated by Southern Californians, with the occasional Hawaiian (Stein Metzger, Mike Lambert) or Brazilian (Jose Loiola, Emanuel Rego) earning a plaque on the pier. But the East Coast? Dalhausser and Lucena have as good a chance as anyone after joining Dax Holdren and Jeff Nygaard as the only undefeated teams after four rounds. The teams will meet today, with the winner having the inside shot at sharing the $28,000 first prize and the immortality of the plaque. They may be young, they may still be learning what all of the big deal is around here, but they're not clueless. They went out and coaxed beach volleyball legend Jim Menges to be their coach. Menges, a five-time winner and seven-time finalist at Manhattan, may be the one to blame -- OK, make that credit -- for the quick improvement. He had a lot to work with at the start. At 6-foot-9, Dalhausser has a wingspan that blots out the sun. The 6-1 Lucena is cat-quick behind him and has the stamina to take every serve and pound out sideouts. They do have a title under their belt, taking the Austin (Texas) event on May 1 after crawling out of the losers bracket to win five straight matches and defeat the top-seeded Metzger and Jake Gibb in a three-game final. But they couldn't put runs together like that in every tournament. "We've been siding out pretty steady, just staying in games,'' Lucena said. "If we get down a couple points, we usually fall apart. I think Jim Menges is the greatest person ever. He fires us up, keeps us calm and lets us know what we're doing wrong. "He keeps us focused, so I think that's the biggest difference.'' "The biggest thing for us, since we're a younger team, is to keep our composure,'' Dalhausser said. "If we give up a couple points, (we need) to come back and side out, just stay in it mentally. "(Menges) just keeps us in it mentally through the whole match. Before, we would kind of stray off and if we were down two points we would just ... not give up, but say, 'Oh, let's get ready for the next game' type of deal.'' They outlasted Metzger and Gibb again in Saturday's semifinal, 21-19, 19-21, 15-9. Their next game is the winner's bracket final of the Manhattan Open. Even they seem to be in awe at the opportunity to win the Wimbledon of beach volleyball. "You know what? I haven't even thought about it,'' Dalhausser said. "That would be pretty cool to have our names up there. I guess now I'm thinking about it. We'd probably be the first East Coast guys. That'd be nice.'' Maybe it doesn't hurt to dare to dream. "I never thought (competing for this title) would happen this fast,'' Lucena said. "Now I start to see Mike Dodd and Tim Hovland saying 'Hi' to you and 'good job.' Unbelievable, man.'' Third-seeded Holdren and Nygaard closed their run by defeating last week's winners, Karch Kiraly and Mike Lambert, 17-21, 21-16, 15-13. In this morning's first matches, Kiraly-Lambert will face fourth-seeded Sean Rosenthal (Redondo High) and Larry Witt, and Metzger-Gibb will take on sixth-seeded Sean Scott and Todd Rogers. Big Win for Metzger, Gibb By Peter Yoon, LA Times Staff Writer For Stein Metzger and Jake Gibb, winning the Manhattan Beach Open wasn't about ending the top-seeded team jinx, proving something in a made-up East Coast-West Coast beach volleyball rivalry or strengthening their grip on the Assn. of Volleyball Professionals season points race lead. All of those things were secondary Sunday when they defeated Phil Dalhausser and Nick Lucena, 21-19, 21-10, in the crown jewel of beach volleyball, where making history is the primary spoils for the victors. The tournament carries more meaning than any other in the sport because of a storied history, a list of winners that includes all the sport's legends and a tradition of immortalizing the winners each year with bronze plaques on the Manhattan Beach Pier. "Real quickly you learn how special this tournament is," said Gibb, who, with only five years of pro beach volleyball experience, is a relative newcomer to the sport. "Other tournaments I go in I think about the volleyball. I come into this one thinking 'This is Manhattan.' " It took only a simple cellphone picture message from Coach Jeff Alzina to remind Metzger, who won the tournament with Kevin Wong in 2001. Metzger was at his Manhattan Beach home Saturday night when he heard his phone beeping. Alzina had sent a photo of the plaque from Metzger's 2001 victory. "I called him right away and we got all fired up," Metzger said. "Being on the pier with all those great names up there — just to be in the same sentence or same paragraph as them is special, but to be on the same pier forever is pretty great." They could have begun engraving the plaques pretty early this year. Metzger and Gibb, the AVP's top team this season, were nearly flawless as they took down the Floridians who had defeated Metzger and Gibb four times in six previous meetings this season. In the process, they became the first top-seeded team to win an open tournament since the 2003 season opener and won for an AVP-best fourth time this season to extend their lead in the season points race to 90 points over Dax Holdren and Jeff Nygaard with two tournaments to play. They became the first team without a California native to win at Manhattan — Metzger is from Hawaii, Gibb from Utah — and they earned their first victory in the Golden State. But they shunned any talk about wanting to take down the East Coast team. "There was one guy cheering 'East Coast' the whole game, but we don't think about that," Metzger said. "We just tried to stay focused and win, which isn't easy in this tournament." Gibb's solid net presence and Metzger's uncanny ability to dig balls were the keys to victory. Gibb had five blocks, including consecutive plays in the second game that gave his team a commanding 15-8 lead. His blocking caused fits for Lucena, who received the majority of the serves but had 17 kills and 16 hitting errors. Lucena and Dalhausser, who defeated Metzger and Gibb in the Austin Open final this year, acknowledged nerves because of the setting. "I'm always a little nervous before every game, but this one I was a little more," Lucena said. "Usually it goes away, but once I started" struggling, "I started putting more and more pressure on myself." Metzger and Gibb get inspired win By Sean Martin, Special to the Daily News MANHATTAN BEACH - Stein Metzger received several inspirational messages before playing Sunday in the Association of Volleyball Professionals Manhattan Beach Open. The one his coach, Jeff Alzina, sent Saturday night stood out the most. The tournament's winners are listed on volleyball-shaped plaques on the Manhattan Beach Pier Walk of Fame. Alzina forwarded Metzger a photo on his cell phone of the marker recognizing Metzger's 2001 victory at the "Wimbledon of beach volleyball." Metzger's name will appear on a second plaque after he and Jake Gibb beat Phil Dalhausser and Nick Lucena, 21-19, 21-10 in Sunday's final. Metzger, a Manhattan Beach resident, used an uncommon mode of transportation - his bike - to get to this week's tournament. He rode a traditional route to success on the AVP tour by excelling first at the indoor game. Metzger won three NCAA titles at UCLA. Gibb's route to AVP success was a little more unconventional. The Utah native did not play volleyball in college and did not pick up the beach game until he was 21. He said he knew Manhattan Beach's significance despite his late start in the sport. It showed in his celebration, as he and Gibb fell to their knees and embraced after clinching the victory. "You learn real quickly (how special this tournament is)," Gibb said. "This is the only tournament where I think, 'Oh, this is Manhattan.' Every other tournament I think about the volleyball." The win was special for other reasons. Metzger and Gibb have won four times, the most of any men's team, in their first season together. "To be honest, all the hard work we put into it (makes this special)," Gibb said. "One thing I learned from Stein was how to be a professional. He took me to his coaches - and molded me into the player he wanted me to be. We started in November when everyone else started in March." Metzger obviously taught Gibb, who dominated the second game, well. He had consecutive blocks to increase his team's lead to 15-8. "He showed why he is one of the best, if not the best, scorer on this tour," Metzger said of Gibb. "You saw him totally take over with jump serves and stuffs and putting fear into the opponent." Metzger and Gibb became the first men's top-seeded team to win an AVP tournament since the opening event of 2003. The finalists had played each other closer earlier this season than Sunday's score indicated. Dalhausser and Lucena had won three of the teams' five matchups in 2005. They beat Metzger and Gibb in the final at Austin earlier this year. Dalhausser and Lucena also beat Metzger and Gibb on Saturday, 21-19, 19-21, 15-9 in the winners'-bracket semifinals. But they have been inconsistent at times this season. They finished 17th the week before their win in Austin. "We just picked a bad time to have a bad match," Dalhausser said. Defending champions Karch Kiraly and Mike Lambert were eliminated earlier Sunday with a loss to Sean Rosenthal and Larry Witt, 21-17, 14-21, 15-13. Florida pair makes it to AVP tour final By Sharon Robb Florida Sub Sentinel Posted August 22 2005 Two years ago, Nick Lucena of Davie was playing in qualifiers to get into a main draw on the AVP Nissan Series Pro Beach Volleyball Tour. On Sunday the former Western High soccer player made his national television debut at the $250,000 Manhattan Beach (Calif.) Open. Lucena and Phil Dalhausser of Ormond Beach became the first Florida team to make it to the final of this tournament, losing 21-19, 21-10 to No. 1 seeds Stein Metzger and Jake Gibb. Lucena and Dalhausser, the No. 5 seeds, won $20,000, their biggest paydays on the tour. It was the first time since 2003, a top-seeded team won an AVP title in 27 tournaments. It was the fourth title this season for Metzger and Gibb. Lucena and Dalhausser had defeated Metzger and Gibb, the Fort Lauderdale season-opener champions, 21-19, 19-21, 15-9 in an hourlong marathon in the winners' bracket, forcing them to play their way back through the contenders' bracket on Sunday. The final was their third match in four hours, but they showed no sign of fatigue. It was Lucena and Dalhausser who had trouble getting started. They fell behind 9-4 in the opening game but made a late run. They got no closer than two points. In the second game, the two showed signs of life, trailing 8-6, but then collapsed with a series of hitting errors and poor serving. Dalhausser, at 6-foot-10 the tallest on tour, had no blocks in the second game. Dalhausser and Lucena could never get into a rhythm, forcing plays and committing 14 unforced errors. In head-to-head competition, Lucena and Dalhausser lead Metzger and Gibb 4-3, including a title win in Austin, Texas, this season. Former Delray Beach player Matt Heath and Ryan Mariano were 13th. Steve Grotowski of Fort Lauderdale and Adam Roberts were 25th among a field of 89 teams. In the women's open final on Saturday, Misty May-Treanor of Pembroke Pines and Kerri Walsh defeated Elaine Youngs and Rachel Wacholder 21-23, 22-20, 15-11. It was the 2004 Olympic gold medalists' 43rd title. Jake Gibb and Stein Metzger Win Manhattan Beach Open Presented by Bud Light August 21, 2005 Courtesy Of AVP Metzger and Gibb become the first top-seeded men's team to win the final of an AVP Open since 2003. MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif. Aug. 21, 2005 - Enthusiastic crowds filled the stands Sunday to see Jake Gibb and Stein Metzger defeat seventh-seeded Phil Dalhausser and Nick Lucena in the final of the historic AVP Nissan Series Manhattan Beach Open presented by Bud Light, 21-19, 21-10. This is the first time since 2003 that a top-seeded men's team has won the final of an AVP Open. Metzger and Gibb rebounded from a loss to seventh-seeded Dalhausser and Lucena during Saturday play of the tournament. This is the second time this year that the two teams have faced each other in the final of an AVP event. Dalhausser and Lucena defeated Metzger and Gibb earlier this season in the men's final of the AVP Nissan Series Austin Open, May 1. This was the first win in Manhattan Beach for Jake Gibb and the second for Stein Metzger, who won in 2001 with former partner Kevin Wong. Still, another win at the Manhattan Beach Open was especially important to Metzger. "You grow up reading about volleyball and you hear about Manhattan and you want to play there," he said. In the women's final Saturday, Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh defeated Rachel Wacholder and Elaine Youngs, 21-23, 22-20, 15-11. The final was a rematch of last weekend's Huntington Beach Open women's final where second-seeded Wacholder and Youngs swept May-Treanor and Walsh. This is the fourth team win for Gibb and Metzger this season. They are the only men's team to win four AVP events in a season since Dax Holdren and Eric Fonoimoana won four events in 2002. Defending AVP Manhattan Beach Open Champions, Karch Kiraly and Mike Lambert, were knocked out of the tournament Sunday. The duo lost to fourth-seeded Sean Rosenthal and Larry Witt in an elimination match, 21-17, 14-21, 15-13. The three-time Olympic gold medalist Kiraly and 2004 AVP Most Valuable Player Lambert defeated Rosenthal and Witt in last weekend's AVP Huntington Beach Open. The action of the AVP Nissan Championship Series is heating up as the tour heads to Boulder, Col., for the first time since 1996. The action begins Friday, Aug. 26, and continues through Sunday, Aug. 28. This is the fourth event of the Nissan Championship Series, which is comprised of the five biggest beach volleyball tournaments this season. The new format gives players double points for the first four events and the finale will be worth triple points.

The Colorado Connection August 22, 2005 Courtesy Of AVP For the first time in a decade, Pro Beach Volleyball returns to the Rocky Mountains for the AVP Boulder Open August 26th through 28th. Tickets are available now at the AVP Boulder Open Event Page. Student and Military tickets are just $5 with an ID. Colorado has long been a three sport state. With peaks topping 13,000 feet, skiers and snowboarders from around the world head to the Rockies for the best slopes in the States. Denver gave us the Mile-High salute as the Broncos won consecutive Super Bowls in the late 1990s. And Boulder, a college town nestled up against the Flat Irons, has produced some of the greatest cyclist in the world including Gold Medalist Tyler Hamilton. However, the emergence of Elaine Youngs and Rachel Wacholder in 2005 may soon make Colorado a four sport state. Both have strong roots in Colorado and together they have shown the world that the 2005 AVP Women are not just a one team show. After claiming the California High School Volleyball Player of Year award, Rachel became a Buff, joining the University of Colorado at Boulder Volleyball team. Rachel left her mark on the Buffs as she ranks third in all-time kills at Colorado (1,484) and fourth in career digs (1,342) and service aces (145). She was an All-Big 12 Conference first team pick as a senior in 1996 and was a two-time All-Big Eight second team selection. Rachel is one of only eight players to record 1,000 kills and 1,000 digs at Colorado. EY's first connection to Colorado was as a member of the US National Team based out of Colorado Springs following her graduation from UCLA in 1993. EY competed on the National Team for three years and represented America in 1996 at the Atlanta Olympic Games. While EY left Colorado Springs and the National Team to play Beach full time in 1997 her love for Colorado never diminished. EY currently resides in Durango, her home for the past several years. EY and Rachel return to Colorado in the heat of a fierce rivalry. The duo has faced Gold Medalists Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh in five straight finals, winning in both Cincinnati and Huntington. Seven times in 2005 these pairs have battled in an AVP Championship Match and both teams plan on making the Boulder Open their eighth final's match-up. EY and Rachel have Mile-High hopes for Boulder as a win in front of friends and family would close the narrow points' gap with May-Treanor and Walsh in the race for the AVP Championship Crown. The Crown and free Nissan will be determined in Chicago over Labor Day Weekend. The AVP Boulder Open will be televised on OLN and Fox Sports.

Tough question for women of AVP The tour publishes a calendar with 13 volleyball players, who aren't playing volleyball. SHAWN PRICE OC Register columnist Sex is a part of beach volleyball. It's not in the rulebook but in the underlying logic. The principle: You go to the beach, you wear very little clothing. You play beach volleyball, you play it dressed for the beach. But while the element of sex is inherent in the men's and women's game, how much to emphasize it was mostly up to the spectator. Until now. The Association of Volleyball Professionals is selling a "Women of the AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Tour" 2006 calendar exclusively on its Web site - www.avp.com. Sales reportedly are brisk. The AVP's longtime winking acknowledgement of the issue became an accepted marketing ploy when 13 of the game's athletes posed for the calendar, including Olympic gold medalists Misty May-Treanor (Newport Harbor High) and Kerri Walsh, who graces the cover. It's hardly the first or last of its kind. Calendars featuring athletes and scantily clad women have been standards for years. This combines both. And instead of action photos depicting athletes doing their job, it's attractive young athletes posed provocatively. Many players, even those who were there while the sport struggled in the 1990s, realize the calendar walks a fine line between promoting and undermining their success. "There's no way around it, AVP players are sexy," Walsh, of Manhattan Beach, said. "It does not take us back at all. It's fun to be a sexy girl, too." Rachel Wacholder (Laguna Beach High) agreed. "We're just weird about nudity in the U.S." The players who chose to participate signed release forms. Despite some reservations in the beginning and some grumbles since, players accepted the final product. "It's all very new to us. We were prepared to say no," Walsh said. "We're all girls, we all have issues with our bodies." May-Treanor was cautious when she found out some girls posed topless, but covered. "I told them to find somebody else. That's just not me." She was later convinced to do something more conservative. "I can only say I liked my shot," she said. El Toro High grad Elaine Youngs says she's glad she refused to pose. "It's a double-edged sword. Sex sells, but we're great athletes. "It's not that bad if it helps us grow. But when people are out here (at the beach) and see what we do, that's what they'll take away from it. But I would have preferred they use action shots. I'm not this pouty, sex thing." Three other, lesser-known players went a step further and posed for the August issue of Playboy. That's where Wacholder draws the line. "I'm not cool with Playboy," she said. "This (calendar) was artistic. I wouldn't be proud of that (Playboy). I think bodies are beautiful, but there's a way to show them." AVP officials say that, while they are happy to have the promotion the calendar will bring, they are planning a less racy version for wider distribution later in the year. There is also talk of a men's calendar for 2007.
Boulder Open Preview August 24, 2005 Courtesy Of AVP The AVP Nissan Series expanded by two tournaments for 2005, adding Cincinnati and Boulder as new stops on the Tour. This week's AVP Boulder Open marks the first time the pro beach volleyball has visited this high-altitude college town since 1996. Colorado was one of the first states to host a pro tournament outside of California with the 1979 event, won by the two career victory leaders, Karch Kiraly and Sinjin Smith. When the AVP first began in 1984, Boulder was a regular tour stop, continuing until the demise of that organization. But just as the new AVP has returned with a solid footing, so has the Tour returned to Boulder. Kiraly won the last five AVP events in Boulder, which all occurred before beach volleyball became an Olympic sport. Since then, much has changed in the sport. One thing hasn't however, and that is that Kiraly is still winning beach volleyball events. Having won at least one tournament in 24 of the 27 years he has competed on the sand, the three-time Gold Medalist remains a strong contender with partner Mike Lambert. Lambert won in the other new event of 2005, giving John Hyden his first career title. That event in Cincinnati was unique in that both the men's winner and the women's winners were first-time champions as teams. Rachel Wacholder / Elaine Youngs broke into the winner's circle with a come-from-behind three-game win over Misty May-Treanor / Kerri Walsh. Having two teams win for the first time in Boulder will not be an easy feat. On the men's side, all top seven seeds have won a tournament together, while the women's have been dominated by the top two teams. In fact, Wacholder / Youngs and May-Treanor / Walsh have lost just a total of three matches to teams besides each other this season, and none of those have happened since San Diego in the middle of June. That being said, however, Jen Kessy / Holly McPeak have been in the Final Four in all but one AVP event this season, so they are a constant and real threat. Eight other teams have reached the semifinals this year, including Tyra Turner / Makare Wilson, who had career bests with third-place finishes in two of the last three events. Some indicators point to Wacholder / Youngs winning this event. Their first win, in Cincinnati, came in one of the two new stops on the Tour. Their last win, in Huntington Beach, came in the same county that both players grew up in (Orange County). The tournament in Boulder is also a tie for these athletes, as Youngs lives in Durango, Colo., and Wacholder was a star player at the University of Colorado. Chances are one of the top two teams will win. It has been over four years since a women's team seeded lower than second won a team event on the AVP Tour, when seventh seeded Dianne DeNecochea / Liz Masakayan won in Santa Barbara. Since that time, 38 straight team events have been won by either the first or second seeds. Of course, with Jake Gibb / Stein Metzger breaking the curse of the men's number one seed last week, anything is possible. The men's top seed had endured 26 straight events of finishing lower than first place. The race for the Nissan Championship Series title, which goes to the player(s) with the most points for the season, is weighted greatly in favor of May-Treanor / Walsh. The men's race is close between Gibb / Metzger and Dax Holdren / Jeff Nygaard, who have reached the Final Four nine and eight times respectively. A total of 12 different teams have advanced to the semifinals this season, with eight of those playing in the championship match. All 10 of the Final Fours this season have been unique combinations of teams. While the men's side has been more wide-open, Gibb / Metzger and Holdren / Nygaard have been the most consistent teams, and therefore lead in the quest for the Nissan vehicle and special trophy to be awarded following the AVP Chicago Open presented by McDonald's. With the smaller fields of 24-team main draws, teams can win the title with just five match victories. But they will have to overcome not just the opposing teams, but playing a mile above sea level where Oxygen seems to be at a premium in the third game of a grueling match, especially given that this is the third straight week of competition (more so for those playing on the international tour). So like the weather in Colorado, expect the unexpected.
