Homer and Tim, per Rule 10.3.7.a the player is an illegal substitute since she entered the game without following the proper substitution procedure. The correct penalty would be to assess an unnecessary delay timeout (Rule 10.3 Penalty), and remove the incorrect player from the court and replace her with the player that is on the lineup sheet or have her substitute in for the player that was supposed to be on the court in the first place. Points will only be removed if the opponent has not contacted the serve yet during the current term of service. Then, only the points scored by the last server on the offending team will be removed (Rule 10.3 Penalty 3).
