It will be Halley and Zieba\u2019s second Finals day this season, but first time together. Halley, who placed 5th in last year\u2019s Coolangatta ABVT Finals, won bronze with Matt Reeves at the Cobram ABVT in February, while Polish-born Zieba placed 4th in Mollymook last month and 5th in Cobram with James Takken.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Qualifying for their first ABVT semifinal this season was fourth seeds Garang Anyang and Justin Schuman. The duo have steadily been improving this season, placing 9th together at Cobram and 5th in Mollymook last month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">In a case of deja vu, the duo faced second seeds Max Guehrer and Tom Hodges in the quarterfinal clash, but unlike at Mollymook where Guehrer and Hodges got the upperhand, it was the younger Anyang and Schuman who won the match 2:1 (21-16, 18-21, 15-11) to advance to their first ABVT medal opportunity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cIt was such an exciting game, whenever we play those boys it\u2019s always a three-setter that gets the fans going,\u201d Anyang said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cLast time they had us, but to win today, that match was a special one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWe didn\u2019t start the season as well as we wanted to but then to improve to fifth to now make Sunday Finals is where you want to be and we\u2019re really starting to gel together.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-74964\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2022VA-ABVT_RGPM05625_original-1024x683-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2022VA-ABVT_RGPM05625_original-1024x683-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2022VA-ABVT_RGPM05625_original-1024x683-1-580x387.jpg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2022VA-ABVT_RGPM05625_original-1024x683-1-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2022VA-ABVT_RGPM05625_original-1024x683-1.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Anyang and Schuman will face New Zealand\u2019s Sam O\u2019Dea and Bradley Fuller in the second semifinal on Sunday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games bronze medallist O\u2019Dea and his 2022 partner Fuller are New Zealand\u2019s top ranked men\u2019s beach volleyball team and have been undefeated in Coolangatta so far. Coming in as an unseeded international team, the duo won all three games in Friday\u2019s Qualification Tournament to advance to the main draw.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">They defeated Commonwealth Games gold medalist&nbsp; Damian Schuman and his partner Martin Kaufer in straight sets, and have already had a 3-set battle against Anyang and Schuman in the Pool rounds (21-23, 21-13, 18-16) to top their pool, setting up a tantalising rematch in tomorrow\u2019s semifinal at 9am.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-74961\" src=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2022VA-ABVT_RGPM0089_original-1024x683-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2022VA-ABVT_RGPM0089_original-1024x683-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2022VA-ABVT_RGPM0089_original-1024x683-1-580x387.jpg 580w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2022VA-ABVT_RGPM0089_original-1024x683-1-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/asianvolleyball.net\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/2022VA-ABVT_RGPM0089_original-1024x683-1.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The Women\u2019s Elite semifinal will see a very interesting clash between Queenslanders Jasmine Fleming and Britt Kendall, seeded ninth, and the unseeded Cherry Rondina and Bernadeth Pons from the Philippines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Fleming placed 4th at Mollymook and 5th at Cobram with Georgia Johnson, but Coolangatta is the first time she\u2019s paired up with Kendall, who is playing in her first national tournament in two years following a severe back injury. Fleming and Kendall defeated Johnson and Mollymook ABVT winner Alisha Stevens 2:1 (19-21, 21-15, 15-6) in the quarterfinals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Rondina and Pons are visiting Australia with seven other teams from Volleyball Philippines for a two-week training camp with Australia\u2019s national players in Queensland.
