A battle of extremes. 1st place Hyundai E&C defeated Pepper Savings Bank, the lowest place, once again and ran 14 consecutive wins from the opening.
Hyundai E&C won with a set score of 3-0 (25-17, 28-26, 25-20) in the 3rd round of the Dodram 2022-2023 season V-League Women’s Division Pepper Savings Bank held at Pepper Stadium in Gwangju on the 18th.
With this victory, Hyundai E&C continued its 14-win and undefeated streak after the opening. In a situation where the opening streak was already continuing, another victory was added. They also won all three matches against Pepper Savings Bank this season.
On the other hand, Pepper Savings Bank fell into a 15-game losing streak after the opening. It is breaking its own league record in this category. I haven’t even reported a win yet. The team is being built under the system of acting coach Lee Kyung-soo, and the content of the game is getting better, but there is still no win and the victory point is only 1 point.
Hyundai E&C played the game with two consecutive starting middle blockers Yang Hyo-jin absent. On the 15th, before the GS Caltex match, Yang Hyo-jin was diagnosed with Corona 19 and withdrew from power. However, even in the absence of Yang Hyo-jin, Hyundai E&C continued its winning streak without being shaken. On this day, director Kang Seong-hyeong filled Yang Hyo-jin’s empty seat with Na Hyun-soo’s card.
At the beginning of the first set, Hyundai E&C quickly accumulated points. ‘Main Artillery’ Yasmin Bedardt’s attacks were successful in succession. On the other hand, Pepper Savings Bank had a hard time solving the game as Nia Reed, the core of the attack, was tied up. Pepper Savings Bank’s overall play seemed stiff, perhaps because it was facing the first-place team.
Pepper Savings Bank also pursued by making use of the opponent’s room and quick attack opportunities, but for Hyundai E&C, Yasmin perfectly brought the atmosphere with 3 consecutive sub-aces. Nia Reed came back to life in the second half of the first set, but it was not enough to overcome the already widened score gap.
Hyundai E&C, who won the first set, solved the second set with difficulty. Pepper Savings Bank took the lead as Lee Han-bi came back to life, and Hyundai E&C allowed consecutive runs as the offense continued to miss. It was difficult to tie the score with Yasmin solving it from the rear, but this time, Pepper Savings Bank did not just back down. Following Lee Go-eun’s blocking, Lee Han-bi’s come-from-behind score succeeded in turning the game 15-14 in the middle of the second set, and then led the set with Lee Han-bi’s additional blocking and Seo Chae-won’s sub-ace.
However, it collapsed again as it could not block Yasmin, and Hyundai E&C took the second set with Yasmin’s score and Go Yerim’s sub-ace at the end of a 26-26 deuce. 토토
Hyundai Engineering & Construction, which had a close match, won the last three sets relatively easily. Still, Yasmin was at the center of it. Yasmin continued to score points as he played a big role regardless of position. Hyundai E&C, which was overwhelmed in both air and defense, confirmed the shutout victory.
On the other hand, in the men’s match held at the Cheonan Yu Gwan-sun Gymnasium on the same day, 1st place Korean Air beat 2nd place Hyundai Capital with a set score of 3 to 1 (25-17, 19-25, 25-21, 25-19) and won 6 consecutive victories. . Hyundai Capital, which is recording all three losses against Korean Air this season, has also stopped winning streak. Korean Air secured first place with 12 wins, 2 losses and 36 points.
