Female Beach Volleyball - Liz Masakayan, American female beach volleyball player

Liz Masakayan (born December 31, 1964 in Quezon City, Philippines) is a championship athlete in both outdoor and indoor volleyball. She has 47 all-time wins and 181 all-time tournaments played. Her partner is Karolyn Kirby and they are the Number 2 women's volleyball team in the world.

Liz Masakayan hasn't always played volleyball. When she was ten she played baseball, most of the time she was the only girl on the team. Liz recalls making a pitcher cry one time because she hit a home run. Masakayan heard a lot of comments from playing on a team full of boys but says "I learned at an early age that if you just worked hard, had fun, and treated people nicely, that everything would fall into place, like winning." When Masakayan was 14 she stopped playing baseball and picked up soccer. She played Soccer for seven years and ran track four years. She says she helped to form the first girl's soccer team at Santa Monica High School.
