Jeong Kwan-jang, who has played eight consecutive winless games since he shut down the lead Gimcheon Korea Expressway Corporation on January 1, added one point due to his loss in the full set against the Industrial Bank of Hwaseong IBK on the 10th, but his losing streak extended to 12 games until the match against Gwangju Pepper Savings Bank on the 18th.

However, this day was different. It was even more meaningful to win the first victory and earn points against Heungkuk Life Insurance, which is competing for the lead.

They did not have a big advantage in both blocking (7-7) and serve (3-2), and the receiving efficiency (23.46%-22.34%) was similar, but they overwhelmed them 33-22 in effective blocking. This is why he was able to overwhelm Heungkuk Life Insurance (13) while recording 24 mistakes.

On the other hand, in Heungkuk Life Insurance, Rebecca Latham (registered Rebecca) worked hard with 24 points, but she was held back at a busy time with only double-digit scores.

From the first set, Park Yeoreum and Janette scored seven points each, embarrassing Heungkuk Life. The success rates of the two attacks reached 75% and 70%, respectively, and they easily gained the upper hand with 25-16.

Jeong Kwan-jang, who self-destructed by pouring out 10 mistakes in the second set, brought back the third set. In Heungkuk Life, Rebecca exploded 10 points alone, but Park Yeoreum and Zanete again scored seven points each and grabbed four blocks to gain the upper hand.
