With two consecutive wins, Seoul's GS Caltex has raised hopes for spring volleyball. Suwon KEPCO also rose to third place, raising expectations.
GS Caltex won the away game of Gwangju Pepper Savings Bank and Jin Air 2025-2026 V-League at Gwangju Pepper Stadium on the 11th with a complete set score of 3-0 (25-17, 25-17, 25-23).
GS Caltex, ranked fourth with 18 wins and 16 losses and 54 points, narrowed the gap with third-place Incheon Heungkuk Life Insurance (57 points). Pepper Savings Bank ranked sixth with 15-20 losses and 44 points.
If the difference in points between the third and fourth places is less than three points, a semi-playoff will be held. GS Caltex has one more game to play than Heungkuk Life Insurance (one game) with two remaining games, and the spring volleyball game has become closer to reality.

GS Caltex overwhelmed 11-5 in blocking, neutralizing the opponent's attack success rate to 30.28%. In Pepper, Park Kyung-hyun (16 points) was the only double-digit scorer.
GS Caltex, which was dragged 6-8 at the beginning of the first set, immediately reversed the atmosphere by scoring six consecutive points, starting with Yoo Se-yeon's score, and later brought the first set without allowing pursuit.
In the second set, GS Caltex won once again, including Kwon Min-ji, who scored six points alone even though Silva scored only two points.
In the third set, a fierce match was held until the end, but GS Caltex's amazing concentration shone at the end. After taking the lead with Silva's score and Choi Yoo-rim's block in 19-19, Silva's second consecutive score was used to win the game.
There was also a change in the spring volleyball game in the men's team. Korea Electric Power Corp. has won two consecutive games and jumped to third place.
KEPCO won the shutdown with a set score of 3-0 (25-21, 25-21, 25-19) in an away match against Busan OK Savings Bank at Gangseo Sports Park Indoor Gymnasium in Busan.
KEPCO, which recorded 19 wins and 15 losses and 55 points along with two consecutive wins, tied Uijeongbu KB Insurance (18 wins and 16 losses), but jumped to third place ahead of multiple wins. OK Savings Bank ranked sixth with 16 wins and 19 losses and 47 points.

KEPCO, which won with an even score distribution from the first set, brought the set once again amid Bennon's performance, who scored nine points in the second set.
