This was a big weekend for the Barefoot Wine AVPNext Championship Cup.  Four of its athletes, all from East End Volleyball in Babylon, NY, qualified for the main draw at the AVP Crocs Tour Ocean City Open.   

Hilary Pavels (EEVB) and Katie Lee Carter finished 17th in their first AVP main draw qualification as a team.   

Dana Fiume (EEVB) and Shayna Munson finished 25th in their third AVP main draw this year in three attempts.   

Beth Kenney and Ginger Schuster (both EEVB) also finished 25th place to set career bests.  The pair of Barefoot athletes lost to the #1 seeded and second place finishing team of Nicole Branagh and Elaine Youngs.
