Barbara Open
May 21, 2006

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., May 22, 2006 - Local Santa Barbara residents Todd
Rogers and Phil Dalhausser swept the men's final of the AVP Bud Light Santa
Barbara Open Sunday, defeating Jeff Nygaard and John Hyden, 21-19, 21-15.
The win is the second consecutive victory for Rogers and Dalhausser on the
2006 AVP Crocs Tour.

Rogers, a Santa Barbara native, has played in the championship match of the
Santa Barbara Open in five of his six tournament appearances. His win Sunday
marks the first time he has won in front of his hometown crowd. Rogers, who
lives in Solvang, Calif., attended the University of California Santa
Barbara and coached men's volleyball at his alma mater from 2000 to 2005.

Rogers said he was thrilled with the win. "You saw my reaction at the end.
It's mind-boggling," Rogers said. "I'm happy to get it (the win) under my
belt. It feels good to have won in my town."

Rogers and Dalhausser entered the finals after defeating Hans Stolfus and
Aaron Wachtfogel in the semi-finals, 21-17, 21-9. Nygaard and Hyden defeated
Mike Lambert and Stein Metzger in the semi-finals, 21-17, 21-10.

Three-time Olympic Gold Medalist and Santa Barbara native Karch Kiraly was
eliminated from the tournament during Saturday play by the surprise team of
Brent Doble and Ryan Mariano 22-20, 21-15. Even though Kiraly did not play
Sunday, he was still on-hand in Santa Barbara, Calif., working as a color
commentator for the broadcast of the men's final on Fox Sports Net.

In the women's final Saturday, Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh defeated
Elaine Youngs and Rachel Wacholder, 21-14, 21-14. With the win, May-Treanor
and Walsh made history as the first women's team in beach volleyball to
record their 50th career team title. It was the duo's third consecutive
victory on the 2006 AVP Crocs Tour. The broadcast of the women's final was
the AVP's live national debut on the FOX Network and was the first High
Definition broadcast in the history of the Tour.

The next stop for the AVP Tour will be the AVP Cuervo Gold Crown Huntington
Beach Open, May 26-28. The Cuervo Gold Crown is comprised of three AVP beach
volleyball tournaments this season that offer more first-place prize money
than every other tournament on the AVP Tour.
