Volleyball: Lambert, Metzger win beach title

Advertiser Staff

Punahou grads Mike Lambert and Stein Metzger beat Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers, 23-21, 15-21, 15-13, today in the championship match of the AVP Seaside Open at Seaside Heights, N.J.

"In the end, in the third set, it came down to two errors that were crucial points for us," Lambert said. "Phil hit one out and Rogers hit one out. If they don't have those two, then we just keep siding out and who knows what will happen."

The teams battled each other point-for-point in a match that lasted 90 minutes, the sixth-longest in beach volleyball history, international or domestic.
