History was made Friday at the AVP Gold Series Manhattan Beach Open, when a pair from Seattle, two University of Washington players in only their second pro event, knocked off the No. 1 seed.
No. 32-seeded Chloe Loreen and Natalie Robinson, who played earlier this summer in AVP Waupaca and lost in the women’s final stunned top-seeded Betsi Flint and Julia Scoles 21-19, 15-21, 15-12. It was the biggest upset in AVP history, the first time a No. 32 beat a No. 1.
Chloe Loreen
Loreen, a 6-footer, and Robinson, 5-11, were AVCA All-Americans this past spring for Washington. Later Friday, they knocked off 16th-seeded Macy Jerger and Megan Rice 21-14, 21-17, and Saturday play eighth-seeded Deahna Kraft and Zana Muno.
Natalie Robinson
Flint and Scoles came back with a vengeance in their first elimination match, crushing Katie Lindstrom and Carlie Wopat 21-11, 21-11. But then they got all they could handle from Lexy Denaburg and Carly Kan before coming away with a 21-17, 13-21, 15-11 victory. They’ll play Larissa and Lili on Saturday in what should be an epic contenders-bracket match.
There are other surprises in the eight unbeaten women’s teams, including 28th-seeded Katie Spieler and Torrey Van Winden, who came through the qualifier and upset the fifth-seeded pair of Canadian Sarah Pavan and Geena Urango before beating 12th-seeded Jessica Gaffney and Katie Horton.
The men’s side went more to form.
The eight unbeatens include top-seeded Theo Brunner and Trevor Crabb, second-seeded Tri Bourne and Chaim Schalk, third seeded Chase Budinger and Miles Evans and fourth-seeded Taylor Crabb and Taylor Sander.
The AVP said Friday that although a major storm is headed toward Southern California, no changes are planned for Saturday’s schedule. To see that schedule, go to avp.com/brackets
