B & B Touch of Gold, a women's team from Las Vegas, won the A Silver flight of the USA Adult Volleyball Championships on Tuesday in Dallas.

The team had hoped to repeat as the A Gold national champion, but was relegated to the A Silver flight by losing its opener in the bracket round Monday.

B & B was seeded first among 50 teams and went 5-0 in pool play Saturday and Sunday. After a bye in the first bracket round, the team lost to Sorry of San Antonio. B & B swept its final five matches, including a semifinal win over Las Vegas RNTC (23-25, 25-16, 15-10). RNTC (4-2 pool) finished tied for third.

B & B was keyed by Melissa Layton, Nancy Lee, Ashley Ottman, Bridgette Zavala and Carrie Halvorsen.

In the Men's AA Gold tournament, Team Hard Rock Hotel was 5-1 in pool play and seeded seventh among 28 teams, but was eliminated Tuesday in the bracket round.
