Bansley and Wilkerson, Canada’s fourth team in the FIVB World Tour Finals

Olympian Heather Bansley received a special birthday gift, earning a spot in the Swatch FIVB World Tour Finals with partner Brandie Wilkerson on Tuesday.

The pair went up against Sarah Pavan – Bansley’s former beach volleyball partner – and her new teammate Melissa Humana-Paredes. The all-Canadian matchup came after Pavan and Bansley parted ways following their fifth place finish in Rio, leaving a spot in the FIVB finals in Toronto up for grabs.

The pair carried its winning momentum into the second, winning 21-13 to secure a spot in the pool competition starting on Wednesday.
