Metzger and Lambert Win AVP Seaside Event
July 9, 2007
Former UCLA All-American Stein Metzger and partner Mike Lambert won their third beach title together this season, outlasting Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers at Seaside Heights, NJ.
Metzger and Lambert won 23-21, 15-21, 15-13 in 90 minutes. The victory was the pair's third in six finals against Dalhausser and Rogers.
Eight attack errors and seven service miscues by Dalhausser provided the winning margin for Metzger-Lambert.
"It was a little uncharacteristic by them," said Metzger.
The victory gives the former UCLA standout 14 career AVP wins, eight with Lambert.
