In the women's beach volleyball bracket, Brazil's Juliana Felisberta and Larissa Franca defeated May-Treanor (Costa Mesa, Calif.) and Walsh (Saratoga, Calif.), 21-11, 21-16 in the 43 minutes in the gold medal match after losing to them in Saturday night's final round of pool play.

May-Treanor and Walsh had not played together in a professional beach volleyball tournament, domestic or international, since winning the AVP Manhattan Beach Volleyball Open on September 20, 2008. The AVP World Challenge was May-Treanor's first professional tournament of the 2009 beach volleyball season. "For the first beach volleyball tournament back, not being 100 percent, we had a good tournament," May-Treanor said. "We played better in the evening. It's difficult in the heat, and we served better last night. We'll work on getting better."

"Misty is an awesome competitor and can still hold her own and I'm very proud of her," Walsh said. "We made some execution errors out there today, and Juliana and Larissa are the best beach volleyball team in the world right now." Jen Kessy (San Juan Capistrano, Calif.) and April Ross (Costa Mesa, Calif.) claimed bronze with a 21-81, 21-15 win in 43 minutes over Maria Antonelli and Talita Antunes.
