Yeah that did look like the Allison of old, which was very nice to watch. Unfortunately, it kinda stinks that Karen couldn't shoot like she did earlier....or even well at all. That would have been the last outcome I would have ever predicted. But Allison played terrific and was on the fortunate side of all the safety exchanges. So now she is in her second straight final and hopefully she does not surrender the win as she did in the World Championship.
Interesting side note, Karen Corr did this exact thing last year--got in the finals of all three international women's events and got second in all three. Looks like Allison is trying to do the same thing, except she's in the finals of last two events. Let's just see if she takes bridesmaid tomorrow. If she plays like that again, my guess would be NO!
