Guam’s first ever 1-Star FIVB Beach Volleyball Tournament wrapped up Sunday afternoon with Japan’s Chiyo Suzuki and Yurika Sakaguchi defeated USA’s Sarah Schermerhorn and Kimberly Hildreth in straight sets 21-16, 21-12.
All action took place at Jimmy Dee’s beach and the eventual Champions had to overcome a tough game earlier in the day, winning a three-set match in the semifinals over fellow Japan competitors Ayumi Shiratori and Suzuka Hashimoto 19-21, 21-19, 15-10.
Schermerhorn and Hildreth also had to go through fellow countrymen Delayne Maple and Megan Kraft in straight sets.
Guam’s seven competing teams went without a win during the Main Draw Friday which knocked them out of contention for Saturday’s games.

Sports legend Joe Taitano used to run to school at JFK from his Yigo home and back. He continued this routine up to 1979 when he’d run from home to GW gym and back to practice for the South Pacific Games with the national basketball team. Guam went on to win its second straight SPG gold medal.
