Saxton and Schalk lost the first set, but rallied to win 2-1 (19-21, 30-28, 20-18) over Latvia's Aleksandrs Samoilovs and Janis Smedins. On Saturday, Ontario natives Sarah Pavan and Heather Bansley picked up their second silver medal from the Porec Major in as many years. "It was a very hot and exhausting tournament that took everything out of us, so we're really happy to come away with a medal," Saxton said. Calgary's Ben Saxton and Chaim Schalk of Red Deer, Alta., added a bronze to Canada's medal haul at the FIVB Porec Major on Sunday, adding to the silver won the day before by Canada's women. Canada's other women's entries — Jamie Broder and Kristina Valjas finished ninth; and Melissa Humana-Paredes and Taylor Pischke finished 17th overall.
