Top Teams Continue their Domination of the 2007 AVP Crocs Tour at this sixth event of this season; Tour next heads to Tampa, May 31-June 3

Louisville - May 27, 2007 - Top seeds Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh and Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers were crowned champions at the 2007 AVP Crocs Tour Louisville Open following straight sets wins in Sunday's finals at Waterfront Park. May-Treanor and Walsh and Dalhausser and Rogers have both won five titles so far this season on the AVP Crocs Tour.

May-Treanor and Walsh defeated seventh-seeds Holly McPeak and Logan Tom 21-14, 21-12 to win the first-ever women's title in Louisville. With the win, May-Treanor recorded her 74th career title; Walsh her 71st. The duo defeated fourth-seeds Dianne DeNecochea and Barbra Fontana 21-17, 21-14 earlier on Sunday en route to the finals.

"This was the first's women's championship in Louisville, so that's really special for us to win," said Walsh.

McPeak and Tom advanced to Sunday's final following a three-game 21-19, 19-21, 17-15 win over third-seeds Tyra Turner and Rachel Wacholder earlier in the day. It was a career-best for Tom, playing in her first-ever final on the AVP Crocs Tour.

"Logan is a wonderful athlete, so fiery," said Walsh. "This is just the beginning for her."

On the men's side, Dalhausser and Rogers defeated second-seeded Jake Gibb and Sean Rosenthal 21-18, 21-16 for the championship title. With the win, Dalhausser and Rogers notched their 14th team title and their fifth in six events this season. They defeated sixth-seeds Casey Jennings and Mark Williams 21-14, 21-13 earlier on Sunday en route to the finals.

"I felt pretty good on defense," said Dalhausser, who pulled out two key blocks in the match. "I think that's when we pulled ahead - good blocking."

Gibb and Rosenthal, now finalists in five of the six events this season, advanced to Sunday's final with a hard-fought 21-18, 18-21,15-12 win over fifth-seeds Dax Holdren and Kevin Wong.

"We do what we do, we played well," said Rosenthal. "We need to work on staying calm and take it slow. We need to pick away one point at a time - we're right there."

Rogers is now a two-time champion in Louisville, having also won the title with then-partner Holdren back in 1999, the Tour's last visit to the Bluegrass State.

The AVP Crocs Tour next heads to Tampa, Fla., for the 2007 AVP Crocs Tour Esurance Tampa Open, May 31 - June 3, at the St. Pete Times Forum. The men's and women's qualifier will kick off competition on Thursday, May 31, with main draw play Friday, June 1 through Sunday, June 3. The men's and women's finals will be played back-to-back on Sunday, with the men's final at 2:30 p.m. ET followed by the women's final at 4 p.m. ET.
