I'm rooting for Nicole & Lauren. Nicole needs FIVB for when KWJ returns.

Lauren commented on Instagram that it’s a one time tournament with Nicole and then she’ll decide on partner for next season afterwards.
But I would like Lauren and Nicole to win as well. It’ll be Lauren’s best year!

Mariafe Artacho and Taliqua Clancy had a breeze of a Round of 16 match with 21-12, 21-7 scores over Lithuania.
Nicole and Lauren looking good against the Cubans. They won the first set and its 15-10 in the second set. So tomorrow it’ll be Australians vs the Americans.

Emily and Brittany held a lead in the third set but just couldn’t contain it against Germany’s Behrens/Ittlinger. (14-21, 21-17, 12-15)
That means it’ll be Summer and Brooke against that German team tomorrow.

This tournament really isn't a telling sign for USA Women's beach teams. Just proving that we can & should beat VERY mediocre teams that are not from Brazil or Germany...Not knocking our teams but the two USA teams that are left should get on the podium.

This tournament isn’t a full field. Most teams are enjoying their offseason. Kinda out of topic, but if anyone recalls, there was supposed to be a 5 star major series in Rome but there wasn’t enough funding and then these 1*, 2*, and 3* events were later added but would count towards 2018 season.

You’ve jinxed it -____- Nicole and Lauren lose 14-21, 19-21 to Taliqua and Mariafe (who are on a roll by the way. They won last week in the AVC Osaka Open).

Gold medal match is Poland vs. Australia. Both teams are really on fire there. I think Poland will win though.
Bronze medal match is USA vs. China.
