OSTRAVA, CZECHIA — Canadians Melissa Humana-Paredes and Brandie Wilkerson swept Katja Stam and Raisa Schoon of the Netherlands 2-0 to win a Volleyball World Beach Pro Tour event Sunday.
The Canadians controlled the match, winning 21-16, 21-14. Earlier, Humana-Paredes and Wilkerson defeated Switzerland’s Joana Mäder and Leona Kernen 2-1 in the semifinals.
“We finally won in Ostrava,” said Humana-Paredes. “It’s our favourite tournament on tour.
“We had a bronze and a silver coming into this so we knew we wanted gold to finish the trifecta. Playing in Ostrava is always incredible because the crowd makes every game so special. They truly appreciate beach volleyball and we feel so loved.”
