BEIJING, Aug. 13 (UPI) -- Americans Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor boosted their winning streak to 104 matches Thursday in their last appearance of Olympic group play.
The defending gold medalists swept aside Nila Haaked and Ingrid Toerlen of Norway 21-12, 21-15 in their third pool match.
They will next appear in the round of 16 Friday against opponents that had yet to be determined.
