Sand bites
• With Dalhausser aligning with Rosenthal, Rogers recruited seven- foot Ryan Doherty as a new partner. Doherty had a breakthrough year domestically in 2012, winning the National Volleyball League event in Baltimore. The pair was set to make its debut at NORCECA event in the Cayman Islands March 20-24 where Doherty could earn some much needed FIVB points.
• Gibb has scooped up for his new partner 6-6 Casey Patterson, a domes- tic veteran who played with Doherty in 2012. Patterson will be one of the biggest defenders on the FIVB Tour.
• Sean Rooney, a two-time Olym- pian with the U.S. Men’s National Volleyball Team, is hoping to return to the beach in 2013 with veteran Casey Jennings. Rooney played in 25 beach events from 2004 to 2006.
• Nick Lucena needs a new partner after Matt Fuerbringer accepted an as- sistant coaching position with the U.S. Men’s National Volleyball Team in March. The pair just missed qualifying for the 2012 Olympics together.
