I just heard the announcer apologize for mispronouncing Member-Menet’s last name all season. She said that Leketor spoke with her before the match to correct the pronunciation to “Member-Men-uh,” just as a previous poster had said. Happy that the correct pronunciation is happening, and that her Nigerian heritage is being honored.
Again, if the announcers are not pronouncing a name correctly, tell the school’s SID to tell them and get it right. Or the player should tell the announcer, just like Leketor did tonight. Announcers do strive to get the names right.
Meanwhile, what a nice match. Missouri Tigers up one set, ahead 16-10 in the second. Go, Mizzou!

Funny enough, I’m watching set 4 right now and as I’m reading this thread, they said her name correctly about 6 times in 30 seconds.

Good for Leketor to talk to broadcasters! I talked to her at the Georgia match and she knew they had been wrong all year (due to Mizzou staff notes being wrong)! Way to go, Lek! MU Tigers over LSU Tigers 3-2.
Now Bill Walton on so time to change channel. BTW, nice effort by LSU playing for pride.

I was at that match last night. Will have a Missouri feature tomorrow. Leketor is most impressive, both as a player and to interview. And she told me about her name, which I'll put in the story.

Looking forward to that article - btw, can someone correct the spelling in the thread title to Member-Meneh?

Sorry, Leketor. My bad. Corrected.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone, and go, Mizzou!
