Coney Island next stop on Tour
May-Treanor, Walsh look to continue incredible run
By Melissa Margulies / Special to AVP.com
From the 1920's-40's, Coney Island was known as the "World's Largest
Playground" because it was the ultimate destination for fun: there
were three large fairgrounds complete with exhilarating rides, cotton
candy and warm sunny beaches. This weekend, the island will again
become one of the largest playgrounds when the AVP circuit makes its
annual stop in Brooklyn. The Crocs Slam Brooklyn Presented by Cushman
and Wakefield will transform the beach into a 13-court volleyball
showdown.
After making their way through the rounds, the men will face off in a
final on Saturday at 2:30.
Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers are the No. 1 seeds and have won seven
out of eight tournaments that they've entered this year. This weekend
they will have to battle against many strong men's teams. Look for
Sean Scott and Nick Lucena and No. 3 John Hyden and Brad as they vie
for the chance to appear on center court for the finals.
On the women's side, Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh have been
flattening the competition in their last 90-straight match wins. This
weekend, they will be attempting to hold off the upset from No. 2
Jenny Johnson Jordan and Annett Davis and No. 3 Nicole Branagh and
Elaine Youngs.
The women's championship match with take place at 2:30 on Sunday.
If you aren't fortunate enough to be able to attend the tournament
that will be talking place in the hot Coney Island sun, don't forget
that you can still catch the action! Watch the finals live on NBC...
but you probably shouldn't expect to have a golden tan by the end of
it.
