For Rick Fry, senior pastor of Media City Church in Burbank, spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ doesn't end at the pulpit.

In the fourth set, with the U.S. team leading 7-4 (Japan was leading the match two games to one), Samuelson was issued a yellow card for loudly disputing a call. Later, with Japan ahead 14-13, Samuelson, upset with a line call, snapped at the linesman. A second yellow card was issued. Then, the scorekeeper’s table let the referees know that it was Samuelson’s second yellow card and that it should be a red card. However, a red card would mean that Japan would get a point and win the game and the match. Not wanting the match to end on a technicality, the referees waived off the second yellow card and let the teams continue to play.
