The match was played in Hollywood, FL on Sunday April 20, 2013 between AdrianCarambula/Tyler Lesneski and Mark Van Zwieten/Piotr Marciniak. All 4 playersincluding the Rox Volleyball sponsored Carambula make some unbelievable playsduring the match.

The final scores in the first two games were 28-26 and25-23. The match had everything you can see in beach volleyball from sky ballsto great digs, playing the ball deliberately off the net to your partner,jumping over banners to save the ball and a lot of very hard play and superioreffort by both teams.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The tournament is the 6&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;beach tournament on the 30 tournament long Big Shot Volley Tour promoted byEast End Volleyball and sanctioned by Volley America.
