fourth-round (21-19, 19-21 and 15-13) Sunday morning, scored a 21-14, 16-21 and
17-15 win in the 62-minute title match.  Ayakatubby and Bacil, who shared the $14,000 first-place prize, rallied from 11-7 and 14-12 deficits to win the deciding game of the title match.Ceman and Whitmarsh, who were trying for their third pro beach title together
on the beach, split $9,250 for the Silver Medal.  Echo Entertainment (Studio City, Calif.) taped the Paul Mitchell AVP Huntington Beach Open action for broadcast July 16 on FOX Sports Net.Playing in their first Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP) event
together, Ayakatubby and Bacil completed the weekend with six-straight match wins.  Ayakatubby, who has returned to the beach after being sidelined from full-time play since 1998 due to a variety of injuries, won his 18th pro beach title.  He captured his last domestic title in 1996 (June 30) with Brian Lewis in Grand Haven, Mich.Bacil's only other USA pro title was with Jose Loiola at a 1995 indoor event in Washington, D. C.  Bacil, who grew up on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro,Brazil, won Brazilian and South American beach titles prior to starting his AVP career in 1993.A winner of five pro beach titles, Ceman was trying to win his second-straight Huntington title on The Pier courts as he claimed the 2000 crown with Lewis. Whitmarsh, a beach Silver Medallist for the United States at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games with Mike Dodd, had won 27 pro beach Gold Medals.  Whitmarsh is also the AVP's reigning "King of the Beach" after winning the crown last October in Las Vegas.Ceman and Whitmarsh advanced to the finals with a 21-16 and 21-16 win over second-seeded Nick Hannemann and Andy Jewell.  Ayakatubby and Bacil entered the championship match with a 5-0 AVP Huntington match mark, including a 21-16,21-23 and 16-14 win over 19th-seeded Mike Lambert and Colin Smith in the semi-finals.In the Bronze Medal match, Hannemann and Jewell scored a 21-19 and 21-15 win over Lambert and Smith in 35 minutes.  Hannemann and Jewell shared $6,600 for third-place while Lambert and Smith split $4,850 for fourth-place.  Lambert, a
two-time USA indoor Olympian, was competing in only his fourth pro beach event
while Smith was posting his career best finish.Led by Leonard Armato, Management Plus of El Sequndo, Calif., acquired the AVP last month (May 31, 2001) to unite the world's best men's and women's professional beach volleyball players under one umbrella organization.  The unification has attracted another large domestic field for the second of eight stops on the "new" AVP Tour.Armato actually founded the AVP and served as its executive director in the 1980's.  Under his initial leadership, the AVP developed into a national professional league, attracting major sponsors and national television exposure
along with increases in player prize money.  His involvement is expected to give the sport a much-needed boost following a number of lackluster seasons.

ended up the key for us today. You make a mistake and it's a point for another

We played really smart and cagy to come back like we did. To have match point

really happy for Ack (Ayakatubby), because I know how hard and how long he has
worked on coming back."

ADAM JEWELL: We played pretty good overall in this tournament. We were really
out of gas in our olympic-crossing semifinal against Ceman/Whitmarsh. I was
especially struggling with fatigue. I drank a lot of water between matches and
I think we weren't as tired as Colin (Smith) and Mike (Lambert) obviously were.
We really played flawlessly in the third place match except for a few missed
serves.  We just need to get a little better stamina on these days when the sand gets so hot."
