The loaded women's field included three of the top five teams, all headed to the Olympic Games. Taylor Sander and Taylor Crabb cruised to the men's title.
At first, Melissa Humana-Paredes couldn’t get the cork off the celebratory Champagne bottle. Now she’s learning to aim her shot. In the aftermath of a thrilling three-set victory in the final of the AVP Huntington Beach Open on Sunday, the Canadian defender sprayed Champagne straight into partner Brandie Wilkerson’s eyes, momentarily pausing the euphoric celebration as Wilkerson called for a water bottle to flush her eyes and dabbed her face with a towel.
” Wilkerson and Humana-Paredes also defeated the other U.S. Olympic team of Sara Hughes and Kelly Cheng in straight sets in Sunday's semifinal. The pairs are tied in the FIVB rankings at fourth and have cemented their spots in Paris along with Kloth and Nuss, who are ranked second in the world.
