SPORTSCOPE : Injured Silva Out of Hermosa Open

Jackie Silva, the top-ranked player in the Women’s Professional Volleyball Assn. for the past two years, will not compete in the Hermosa Open on Saturday and Sunday at Hermosa Beach.

Injuries have forced the Brazilian standout to miss the first five events on this year’s tour. In 1990 she won 12 of 16 tournaments, including the Hermosa Open with partner Janice Opalinski.

This weekend’s 32-team field is led by Karolyn Kirby and Angela Rock. The top-seeded team has won three tournaments this year, in Austin, Tex., Daytona Beach, Fla. and Phoenix. Second-seeded Lori Kotas and Gail Castro won the Fresno Open two weeks ago and fourth-seeded Nina Matthies and Linda Carillo won the Clearwater, Fla. event April 21. Opalinski and Elaine Roque are seeded third. Their best performance was a second-place finish at Clearwater.

The $40,000 double-elimination tournament starts at 9 a.m. Saturday and 8 a.m. Sunday adjacent to the Hermosa Beach Pier. The final is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. Sunday.

Sinjin Smith and Randy Stoklos earned their 100th victory as a team at the $65,000 pro beach volleyball event at Sacramento last weekend.

Smith and Stoklos defeated Tim Hovland and Kent Steffes, 15-7. The men’s tour is in Fresno this weekend.

Two South Bay golfers had holes in one recently on the eighth hole at Harbor Park. Brigitte Aldrich of Rancho Palos Verdes scored her first ace at the 136-yard, par-three eighth hole with a four-wood. San Pedro’s Antoni Trutanich sank his tee shot using a seven-iron.

Former Ascot Raceway promoter Chris Agajanian has been chosen the race organizer for the American Motorcyclist Assn. “Salute to Ascot” competition at the Los Angeles County Fairplex track in Pomona Saturday night.

The National Sports Foundation has information on scholarships that may still be available to collegiate athletes. Spokesman Joe Tirrell said: “Contrary to popular belief, students don’t have to be all-state to qualify” for many of the estimated 100,000 annual scholarships available, and consequently “millions of valuable dollars go unused” yearly. For information send a No. 10, self-addressed stamped envelope to the foundation, 612A Willow Drive, PO Box 940, Oakhurst, N.J. 07755.
