JURMALA, Latvia – Canada’s Sarah Pavan and Melissa Humana-Paredes won gold at a Beach Pro Tour Elite 16 volleyball competition Sunday with a 2-1 win over Barbara Seixas de Freitas and Carolina Solberg Salgado of Brazil.

Set scores were 21-19, 20-22, 15-7.

The victory for the Canadians ended a gold-medal drought on the Beach Pro Tour of over two years.
