Beach volleyball: Misty May-Treanor, Kerri Walsh win again

Associated Press

ARLINGTON, Texas — Top-seeded Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh won their second straight AVP Crocs Tour event today, beating second-seeded Nicole Branagh and Elaine Youngs 17-21, 21-14, 15-13 in the Cuervo Gold Crown Dallas Open.

May-Treanor and Walsh overcame a 13-11 deficit in the third game.

"We can be down eight points, and we're still never out of it, and we like to make the other team feel the same way," Walsh said. "But we need to start turning it on a little bit sooner. We both want it so bad, and we're both in it, but we haven't gotten our rhythm yet at all this year. We're really looking forward to doing that."

In the men's event, top-seeded Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers also won their second straight event, beating No. 4 Jake Gibb and Sean Rosenthal 16-21, 21-16, 15-12.
