CHICAGO, ILL. - In a final featuring two Olympic-bound teams, top- seeded Holly McPeak and Nancy Reno defeated second-seeded Barbra Fontana Harris and Linda Hanley 15-11 to capture the Evian Women's Pro Beach Volleyball Tour event here Sunday (July 14) on North Avenue Beach.
McPeak and Reno, who will be seeded second in the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games beach volleyball competition starting July 23, rebounded from an opening loss Sunday to split the $15,000 first- place prize in the $75,000 Chicago Open.
After losing 15-10 to fifth-seeded Elaine Roque and Dennie Shupryt- Knoop Sunday morning, McPeak and Reno rallied from a 9-4 deficit to defeat third-seeded Karolyn Kirby and Angela Rock 15-11 in the Olympic Crossing semi-final match.
In the third-place match, Roque and Shupryt-Knoop downed Kirby and Rock 15-10. Roque and Shupryt-Knoop, who dropped a 15-2 semi-final match to Fontana Harris and Hanley, shared $7,800 for third-place while Kirby and Rock split $6,000.
Fontana Harris and Hanley, who will be seeded fourth in the Olympic beach competition, split $11,400 for finishing second. Fontana Harris and Hanley had won the past two Evian Tour events before finishing second this weekend.
The title was the fourth this season for McPeak and Reno, who have now won 12 Evian Tour championships since April 1995 along with 19 pro titles, including six on the international circuit.
The Chicago Open was the final tune-up for the United States Olympic tandems of McPeak/Reno, Fontana Harris/Hanley and Gail Castro/Deb Richardson (seeded third in Atlanta and seventh-place finisher Sunday) as the trio opens play in the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games July 23.
The Chicago Open was a homecoming for eight Evian Tour players, including Reno and Shupryt-Knoop as the Women's Professional Volleyball Association staged an event in Chicago for the first- time since its inaugural season in 1987.
Other Illinois natives competing are Nancy Mason (finished 13th with Alissa Lund), Jeanette Kollasch (finished 25th with Jackie Auzias de Turenne), and the tandems of Stacy Kammes/Amy Peistrup- Matthews (finished 17th) and Erin Borske/Christine Rehor-Federico (finished 17th).
Kammes and Peistrup-Matthews scored the Chicago Open's biggest upset win by downing ninth-seeded Marla O'Hara and Ali Wood 15-13 in Saturday's opening round. Despite losing their next two matches, Kammes and and Peistrup-Matthews "cashed" their first pro pay check by sharing $600.
