The symmetry of the end of the first set and fifth set is interesting.  First set, we were down 21-24, and score 5 straight points with Rubin serving.  And the fifth set, we were down 11-14, and score 5 straight points with Rubin serving, same rotation.  Pitt's gotta hate that bit of deja vu.

Also loved seeing the fire in Lizzy Andrew after her massive block on Babcock while down match point 12-14 in the fifth.  She usually seems so stoic, but she definitely met the moment.

I thought you undersold the first set, because the play-by-play shows Pitt up 24-20 in the first.  But just watching the replay, I see it was actually 23-21 before Pitt got to set point (24-21).  So the symmetry is unbroken.
