That final point against Cho, or is he going to be a liability?
Looks like Ola is ready for action.
I mean, Ola is an early X-factor as well.
Can he get his team off to a better start here than he did in the singles?
And he's got to make all of his serves.
Well, he only had one serve and he made it.
He misses the return.
That puts Chicago up 2-1.
Only one more point in this sequence.
If we do get to 20 all, it'll be these two for the ultimate golden point.
Ola takes two out of three and ties this golden game up.
Two points apiece.
The hammer of Thor just smashes that ball for a winner.
All right, Coyo first, Lebesson.
What do you think?
I think Lebesson, I think that his play off the bounce.
Coyo wins the first point with a serve that doesn't come back.
And look at the difference in Coyo's level of excitement from where we saw him when he
left versus a 3-0 loss to Sean John.
Very different.
And that's what Coach Matias wanted him to do.
Show some excitement when you win the point.
Oh, are you kidding?
What a scramble by Lebesson.
Just happy to put his paddle on the ball.
Somehow makes it land.
Lebesson earns the 2-2 split.
4-all for Cho and Gardos.
A matchup we just saw a few minutes ago.
Can Gardos keep that momentum from game three?
Much better offense.
Gardos knows he has to step up his game.
That's well done.
That was a great serve return.
Nice and tricky.
Little side spin and then the facial expression was like, wow.
Nice shot.
Excellent return from Seung Min there.
Going to get greedy and win both points on Gardos' serve.
Oh, great touch by the Austrian.
Just getting close to the ball with his body.
Keeping it low.
It's only fitting.
6-6.
Got to give the slight edge to Chicago in this matchup.
And yet Hernandez strikes first.
And we saw Hernandez at Table Tennis America at Championship Weekend
being this exact same role.
Trying to come up big in the Golden Game.
Two straight for Carlos.
Team owners Roger and Andre.
Very pleased with the pickup.
Three consecutive points for Carlos Hernandez.
It's a golden sweep for Carlos Hernandez.
Why did Kozaku back away from the table so quickly?
It was just the first counterattack by Hernandez.
He got some pace on the ball.
Kozaku was getting lower and lower on each shot.
Could not deal with the heavy topspin.
And Hernandez did exactly what Coach Matias wanted.
Five consecutive points on the trot here for Princeton.
No timeouts can save you now.
Mo needs to get her fourth and smash into play.
These long rallies right now.
Remember yesterday, Mo did end up taking five of the eight points she played in the Golden Game.
Got a late sweep, but struggling performance for Mo again.
Salvages one there.
Snaps a string of seven straight for Princeton.
And it's 13-7 as we complete our first trip through the batting order.
Back to the top of the lineup.
Benedek Ola or Sean Jung.
They'll play four points.
Ola took two of the three they played earlier.
Oh my goodness is right.
There will be a trivia question coming out of this team match.
Who's missed the most serves in one team match?
And Ola's going to have that all to himself.
Did it catch?
Ola's pumping his fist.
The umpires are looking at each other.
Does Owens have a timeout?
He doesn't have a timeout.
And also, if you don't have a timeout, you get a yellow card, I believe.
If that ball bounces.
I don't think that catches yet.
It definitely went straight down.
And there's the backhand from Ola.
The feeling he's been looking for.
Ola is just so much fun to watch.
Ola makes it an eight point lead as he gallops into the bench.
That's 11 of the last 13 points to Princeton since it was tied six all.
Again, Koyo Kanemitsu.
Princeton has ripped this thing away from Chicago.
Like a voracious predator.
Now the wheels have come off the Chicago wagon.
Levison avoids getting golden swept.
He can't believe it.
He's thinking Koyo gets five out of the eight, the eight points they played.
Chicago was down 40 to 10 yesterday and got back with a two.
This is in fact another crazy comeback today.
The left.
So Sung Min with just two points to close this out for Princeton.
Right at the edge of the paddle.
Losing points on your serve is the start of how you give up a big leap.
See if Cho is able to do the exact same thing and just get that ball into play.
And he opens up on Robert's serve.
And now a plethora of match points here in the golden game.
Gardos staves off defeat for at least one more point.
Now it's Alex Kozaku once again taking the table knowing that there is no margin for error.
He did not score a single point in the last sequence.
Or be swept.
He needs to swing it around in his favor to get bullet chance.
Unable to find the table with a lob.
Carlos Hernandez trying to finish off a golden game for the first time since
the championship game with the Portland Paddlers this past April.
Kozaku takes both points on Hernandez's serve.
You know Evan I think I don't want to be a downer but
with Guo coming up against Mo I think it's just a revolution looking so good.
Obviously Mo got four in a row yesterday.
And that'll do it.
We're not going to get there Sean.
Carlos Hernandez helps the Princeton Revolution earn their first win of the season.
Final score the golden game 21 to 14.
Hernandez goes five and two in the golden game.
And Princeton becomes the first team in season four to come from behind and win a golden game.
They trailed by one at the start.
It was tied 6-6 and then they ran away with it from there.
And Princeton will head into their Sunday matchup against Atlanta.
Looking for a two-win.
