TV host and actress Maria Menounos shows off her volleyball skills at the AVP Crocs Tour Cuervo Gold Crown Huntington Beach Open on Thursday in Los Angeles, Calif.

Menounos and partner Jesse Cooper missed out on their chance to qualify for the AVP’s Huntington Beach Open when they were swept in straight sets by Bianca Peigler and Shannon Smeed 21-7, 21-10.

“It went amazing,” said Menounos said. “Unfortunately, not that amazing because I didn’t make the team, but I learned a lot from my partner, Jessie, and I had a blast.”
