Of course it ended the way it did. Eight times did the ball go over the net in the final rally of Kelly Cheng and Sara Hughes’ opening match of Olympic pool play against the Czech Republic’s Barbora Hermannova and Marie-Sara Stochlova. It was a rally that included two high lines, one failed attempt at a fake set attack (Cheng), one failed over-on-one (Hermannova), a heroic dig from Hermannova that had Olympic Broadcasting Services announcer Clayton Lucas exclaim “Oh yes! Magnificent!” and, to cap it off, an over-on-one tomahawk kill into the deep angle from Cheng to clinch both the match and the most electrifying point of these young Olympic Games.

The United States are a win away from the knockout stages. The final day of group stage play is here for the United States U-23's and their chances of making the knockout stage hang in the balance. If Team USA can win the match they'll be through to the knockout stages but Guinea's midfield will cause issues in the build up for Marko Mitrovic's attack. After naming unchanged lineups for the first two matches of the group stage, it's unlikely that Mitrovic will change things but after Gianluca Busio aggravated his hamstring injury against New Zealand, Jack McGlynn may have to come into midfield.
