Sorra/Odigie lost their semi in two close sets (20-22,23-25); won the bronze medal match, and qualify for the U21 World Championship. (ETA: they lost their semi to the Americans who won the Gold Medal match easily.)

In Denver:
Belardi/Bell lost in three sets, finish tied for 5th.  As did Connor/Reilly.

Jackson/Urango are playing for the  championship, down one set so far.  (Streaming on Bally Sports Live.)

ETA: Jackson/Urango were down 16-20 in the second, got six straight points to force a third set.

ETA2: And the third set ends with an Avery Jackson stuff block. Jackson & Urango win the AVP Denver Open!

I should note that several of the top teams were in Gstaad for a big FIVB tournament, so this wasn't a full field. Still, a great accomplishment.
