The Manhattan Beach Open wil take place Aug. 16-18 as apart of the AVP’s Heritage Series.
Julia Scoles and Betsi Flint celebrate their win over Kelley Kolinske and Hayley Harward in the AVP Gold Series Manhattan Beach Open women’s final on Sunday, August 20, 2023. Last year at the Manhattan Beach Open, Julia Scoles and her partner Betsi Flint made history. The pairing came in as the No.1 seed but fell to the No. 32 team in the tournament. After that setback, they made a dramatic run through the Contenders Bracket and became the first No.
Scoles and Flint will compete starting Friday and wouldn’t mind taking a more direct route this year. They are the No. 3 seed this year, with Olympic duos of Taryn Kloth and Kristin Nuss, and Kelly Cheng and Sara Hughes the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds, respectively.On Thursday, Scoles and Flint had their names placed on the Manhattan Beach Pier commemorating their victory in 2023.
When Scoles was a sophomore at North Carolina, she sustained multiple concussions, which forced her to reconsider her future with indoor volleyball. She decided to switch to beach volleyball, and in 2018, she transferred to the University of Hawai’i with the intention of playing a new sport. At Hawai’i, she was named to the All-Big West First Team.
“I thought that was a super unique idea,” Scoles said. “I’m very excited to see how everything plays out. I think this is where professional sports have been, and the trajectory continues to go that way towards franchises and teams.”
