MONTREAL — Canada’s Melissa Humana-Paredes and Brandie Wilkerson reached the quarterfinals of the Montreal Elite beach volleyball pro tour event Friday with a 21-13, 21-18 win over Brazil’s Thamela Coradello and Victoria Lopes.
The Olympic silver medallists from Toronto improved to 3-0 to sit in first place in Pool A.
“We were very clear about our pre-game plans and our ability to adapt and communicate between us too,” Wilkerson said. “We trusted our defence and our side out, but really you just have to battle.
“And that’s our goal this entire weekend – to battle.”
