Not the pair I thought would make the final, but good for Wilkerson for finding a good partner and for them to gel so quickly.

This isn’t confirmed or anything, just a speculation, but I’m pretty sure Pavan/Bukovec have split.

 

First clue I got, was when Sophie and Sarah withdrew from all upcoming Elite16’s they were registered in. But now I think it’s pretty much confirmed, with Sophie winning the Canadian Beach Volleyball Trials with Shanice Marcelle, therefore booking themselves a ticket to the NORCECA World Championship Trials in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Sarah, on the other hand, is next scheduled to compete at the upcoming Juumala Challenge with Molly McBain.
