  1. Very good game. Unfortunately, there was a huge error made by winning team in their last 3 point drive: both teams tied 8-8, Etta Wright starts the serve 8-8-1, scores point and they go into timeout, leaving the ball rolling on camera view instead of placing ball underneath Etta’s paddle, as customary. (Extra good idea, especially if both team members have same, exact paddle, which is the case here).Upon their return, Meghan Dizon serves 9-8-1, scores point, and switch. When Dizon is about to serve 10-8-1, she probably then realizes the mistake, asks the ref if they are in correct serve formation, ref says no, and then Etta serves 10-8-1, lose rally, and then Meghan Dizon serves once again 10-8-2, winning point and game. At this level, with so much on the line, this cannot happen. Can you even imagine the level of drama from Lea Jansen/Alyce Jones if they would of caught the error when it was happening??? I was cheering for Wright/Dion, since Lea, as of late, is being somewhat unprofessional and a cry baby full of drama-making, and Jones, as much as I like her passion on court, her excessive yelling and body checking teammates has gotten annoying. The Mighty Mouse gets trapped in her own home!
