May-Treanor, Walsh capture Long Beach title
The world's No. 1 women's team and reigning gold medalists Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh went undefeated to win the AVP Long Beach Open on Sunday in their last tournament before the Olympic Games in Beijing.
The duo continued their record streaks of 101 straight matches and 18 straight tournaments.
"We don't think about them," Walsh said. "Misty and I, we have one job to do, and that's to win every time we step on the court, and we're very focused on that. It sounds impressive, but we're not done yet."
May-Treanor and Walsh beat fourth-seeded Jennifer Boss and April Ross 21-14, 21-18 in the final.
Boss and Ross stayed close early, with the first game tied 10-10 before the champions pulled away.
