One serve for Kishtay.
And he catches an edge with a deep serve to get his team on the board.
Guts his start to the golden game right there.
Ola didn't even swing at it.
And how about that, another edge with a backhand response.
Are you kidding? Right in the same spot as well.
Final point of this sequence for these two.
And it's a 3-0 mini-sweep for Kishtay.
Ola is now just 5-16 in golden game points so far on the season.
It's early, but 21 points played, only 5-1.
A jarring number for the Big Fin.
Kole serving for Chosun Min in his first golden game ever.
This is a good position for the spinners to switch the lead around.
And now has Kole back up again for Chosun Min, who hasn't played in the golden game before.
It's a different kind of pressure.
Five straight points for Los Angeles.
He already told me during the interlude how much he enjoyed playing out here.
And right now, Kole just getting some fairly straightforward points.
And Princeton does have one more timeout to use, but he is keeping it in his pocket for now.
Kole returns it into the net.
Chosun Min gets his first point in the golden game, but it's a 3-1 split there for Kole.
And a 6-2 lead for the spinners.
And here's Robineau vs. Koyo.
A 3-0 sweep for the Revolution in their third singles match.
But Robineau is very competitive, especially in the last two games.
And the golden game, as you said, is a different beast.
Great shot play from Koyo.
Nice hook on that last one.
Two straight for Koyo Kaimetsu.
The Revolution back into this again.
Did it in his singles. Can he do it again in the golden game?
3-4 for Koyo.
Three straight points to bring the Revolution back within two.
Jinxin Wang vs. Adi Serene.
Adi's been an excellent golden game player through his first two seasons.
Although he struggled in that department last month, good start here tonight.
At that really wide angle, you can get the ball out of reach.
Against a player like Wang Jinchen, you play a pretty exceptional placement.
Well done by Adi.
Not too far from his hometown of Westminster, New Jersey.
Of course, represents Australia.
And Princeton now will take a final timeout.
A couple of serves here for Jinxin Wang.
It really is amazing how each and every single point feels in the golden game.
Every point feels like it could swing momentum.
Into the net.
Three out of four for Adi Serene.
And that sequence to extend the Los Angeles lead.
The lead continues to grow with Matilda Ekholm.
Missed it.
Well capitalized.
Counter for Princeton.
Oh, that is a top, top shot to deal with.
Ekholm gets the split.
12-8 L.A. as we head back to the top of the order.
Pichet won all three points.
He played earlier in the golden game against Benedict Ola.
He'll play the full four points right here.
Ola's on the board in the golden game.
And a reminder, if we do get to 20 all,
it'll be these two big guns back out there on the table
for what would be an epic ultimate golden point.
Winners have one golden game comeback victory this year.
Their only win.
We're down 8-7 going in against Chicago.
Got that victory on October the 5th.
Trying to write a similar story tonight.
Great step around from Pichet,
but not quite able to generate enough depth
and right into Ola's backhand.
It's a huge point for Pichet.
He's won five of the seven points he's played in the golden game.
And that basically is the difference
in this golden game right now.
The spinners in front, 14-10.
Kole back out there versus Cho Sung-min.
Kole took three of four earlier.
Cho strikes first this time.
This would be a great opportunity for Cho Sung-min
to impact on the debut.
And a service error from Kole
Kole opens the door for Cho to tie this thing up
if he can just hold serve here.
How about that?
It's a one-point game.
And a golden sweep for Cho Sung-min
ties this golden game up at 14-all.
You can see Kole retreating.
Knew he was in trouble.
Robineau serving to try to
prevent his team from falling behind.
He can't do it.
It's Koyo putting the revolution in front by one.
Remember, the spinners out of timeouts.
And another service error.
You gotta be kidding me.
That's six straight points for Princeton,
including two service errors from L.A.
They're giving it away.
And fighting to take it back.
My goodness, what a response from Robineau.
Robineau takes both points on Koyo's serve.
Makes amends for his service miss.
It's 16-all for Serene and Jin Shin-won.
Where do you lean right now, Matt?
I'm not leaning at all. I'm sitting very still.
Jin Shin-won, the professor, ever steady.
Serene had an opportunity there.
Serene ties it again.
We have only seen two ultimate golden points so far this season.
Florida beat the Bay Area Blasters in early September,
then Carolina got Florida two weeks later.
Oh, what a point for Serene.
And it's the spinners back up by one.
Jin Shin-won goes wide and gets it done.
A 2-2 split. We're tied 18-all.
Here come the ladies.
Whoa, and at home, split their four points earlier.
At home, took two out of three games.
Very competitive match they played in second singles.
Everything on the line here to miss for that call.
Puts Princeton up one again.
Entertainment purely just in watching for Jang Sun's face after each point.
A lot of character on display where the points are won or lost.
And we've seen Guo receiving the serve,
often coming across with a long-tep backhand side
and going down the line to the middle.
Trying not to redirect that ball into the backhand.
Match points for the revolution.
Not over yet.
Ekholm fights off one.
And now it's Guo on her serve,
or it'll be Tishtay on his serve against Ola.
Unreal!
What a point.
Princeton prevails!
And they storm the court and surround Jang Sun.
