Loric and Adam first came together during a King of the Beach event in
New Mexico, where individual players compete against each other by changing teammates, early in the 2005 season.
They tied for first place at that tournament, with equivalent point totals.
They decided to team up for the prestigious
King of the Mountain event in Vail. With several weeks to train and a strong finish in a local tournament, they placed well in Vail, finishing 9
th out of 27.
A highlight of the event was nearly upsetting a duo of current
USA indoor volleyball national team members.
Loric and Adam continued to play events during the season, winning several local events in
New Mexico.
In September, they teamed to play the challenging
Motherlode tournament in
Aspen, the nation’s largest pro/am event.
The team finished 9
th out of a field of 67 in the top division, the highest of any team from
New Mexico in the events 33 year history, and coming within points of an even higher placing.
The duo won the 10
th annual
Badass Grass event in
Albuquerque.
They closed the season with an appearance in the finals at an event in
Arizona.
Not only did they play well and finish strong in every event, they had a lot of fun doing it! This year, Loric and Adam are setting out to have strong finishes in higher caliber tournaments. They both anxiously await the challenges the new season brings.
