LONDON (Aug. 2, 2012) – The U.S. men’s beach volleyball team Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers completed pool play at the 2012 Olympic Games on Thursday with a 21-13, 21-15 victory in 35 minutes over Petr Benes and Premysl Kubala of Czech Republic at the Horse Guards Parade venue.
Dalhausser (Ormond Beach, Fla.) and Rogers (Santa Barbara, Calif.) are the defending Olympic champions and seeded No. 2 in the tournament. With the victory they won Pool B with a 3-0 record and will wait until the finish of play Thursday night to find out when and whom they will play in the first round of single-elimination play.
Benes and Kubala, seeded No. 14, finish third in the pool at 1-2.
Dalhausser and Rogers dominated the match, leading in attacks (24-19), blocks (5-1) and aces (3-0). The teams tied 9-9 in digs. Rogers had 13 kills, two aces and seven digs. Dalhausser had 11 kills and all five of his team’s blocks.
“We were just on. Everything seemed a little bit easier than the last few matches,” Rogers said. “The last two matches just seemed like a struggle. This time we both were serving well; we both were passing, setting and siding out well. He blocked fantastically. When we’re like that we’re pretty tough to beat.”
Dalhausser added, “If we can keep playing like we did tonight I think we’ll do pretty well.”
The two teams kept things close in the first set until the score was tied at 9-9. Rogers scored on a kill giving Dalhausser the serve. The U.S. scored four more straight points to lead 14-9. The Czech team called timeout and Dalhausser’s next serve went out of bounds. But the U.S. came back to score four more straight points, including two Dalhausser kills and a Rogers attack and ace, to lead 18-10. The Czech team never recovered. Dalhausser scored the final two points of the set with attacks.
The Czech Republic led 4-3 in the second set when Rogers scored with an attack and followed with a second kill and an ace. Dalhausser added a block to give his team a 7-4 lead. The U.S. was leading 15-11 when Rogers scored with a kill and Dalhausser followed with two straight blocks to give the U.S. an 18-11 advantage. The U.S. reached match points at 20-13. Czech Republic scored on two straight Kubala attacks before Dalhausser won it with a kill.
