USA Beach Volleyball Powerhouse
Here is an image from my archives that helps explain why Phil Dalhausser is such a force on the court. At 6'9'' Phil is not the tallest Olympic BV player but the BEST. Imagine this vertical leap from the service line ! No P.S. and no B.S. ;-)
With the games tied at 1-1 against Italy in Rio, the crowd went wild when the 3rd and final game to 15 went into overtime.
Dalhausser and Lucena battled the Italians to finally pull out a victory at 24-22 !!!!! A game for the ages !
USA Today:
Each point in the third was more wild than the last. Players clawed out saves, dove into the sand, kept points alive again and again. The crowd was in near hysterics by the end, with each shot accompanied by gasps and cheers.
