Pure speculation, but Lampl's been lights out and maybe the coaches figure she earned it, at least against a lesser opponent. She's also a senior and it might have been a chance to give her that honor.  Don't know how Lampl will do against the top players but maybe we'll find out; the coaches may have seen what she can do against Lord and Gordon. And I don't understand the rules restricting the extent to which coaches can move players up and down the lineup (I have a vague impression that they can only move one line?), but perhaps this gives Lele more flexibility later for how she orders the lineup.
