Teams in any sport are always looking for momentum, and no men's beach volleyball team in the world had more of that than Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers. Until Saturday.
The world's No. 1 team met its fellow Olympic squad, Jake Gibb and Sean Rosenthal, in the final of the AVP Tour's Long Beach Open on Saturday, and was denied its fourth straight AVP title. Gibb and Rosenthal won in two games (21-14, 21-14) to secure their second AVP crown of the year, and third title overall this season. They also won the AVP event in Atlanta in June, and the FIVB event in Prague in May.
