The Korea Expressway Corporation, the women's professional volleyball team, has confirmed its direct advance to the championship match.

Korea Expressway Corporation won the shutout with a set score of 3-0 (25-19, 27-25, 25-17) in the sixth round of the regular league of the Jin Air 2025-2026 V-League at Samsan World Gymnasium in Incheon on the 13th.

With this, the Korea Expressway Corporation ranked first in the regular league with 24 wins and 11 losses (69 points) regardless of the results of the remaining games. This is because Hyundai Engineering & Construction (22-13, 65 points), which has only one game left, does not reach 69 points for Korea Expressway Corporation even if it earns three points.

It is the first regular league in eight seasons since the 2017-2018 season of the Korea Expressway Corporation. At that time, coach Kim Jong-min won the championship match following the top spot in the regular league, giving the Korea Expressway Corporation its first championship. In the 2022-2023 season, he started third in the league and won the championship game with a miracle reverse sweep, and this is his third attempt to win. It's the second time for me to win the combined championship.

On the other hand, Heungkuk Life Insurance, which finished all of its regular season games, failed to confirm its third place with 19 wins and 17 losses (57 points), failing to widen its point gap with fourth-place GS Caltex (18 wins, 16 losses, 54 points).

Fourth-ranked GS Caltex and fifth-ranked IBK Industrial Bank each have two more games left, making the semi-playoff opponent uncertain. If GS Caltex wins both of the remaining two games, Heungkuk Life Insurance should fall to fourth place and play in an away match.

The two guns of the roadworks flew in the air. Letizia Moma Vasoko (registered Moma) scored 24 points and Kang So-hwi 18 points, making 42 points, and Kim Se-bin helped with 11 points in the center.

In Heungkuk Life Insurance, Jung Yoon-joo scored 13 points, Rebecca Latham (registered name Rebecca) scored 11 points, and Anilis Peach (registered name Peach) showed poor scoring ability with 9 points.

It is a road construction that has been driven from the beginning without hesitation. In the first set, Kang So-hwi and Kim Se-bin scored consecutive points, leading the Korea Expressway Corporation 8-3. In the second half of the first set, Moma's offense revived and quickly reached 20 points. Kang So-hwi brought the first set to the Korea Expressway Corporation as a serve ace.

The second set was a little more intense. Heungkuk Life Setter Park Hye-jin made a 17-15 turnaround by using Jung Yoon-joo and Rebecca. In the center, Lee Da-hyun scored 20 points as he quickly succeeded in attacking the gap.

However, the trend changed as Kim Se-bin succeeded in two quick attacks. Moma from the back made a 24-23 comeback with consecutive points. Kang So-hwi finished the second set with two consecutive points in the last minute.

The Korea Expressway Corporation took the lead in the third set without much difficulty. Starting with Bae Yu-na blocking Choi Eun-ji's hit, Kang So-hwi succeeded in scoring a block and a time difference, and the atmosphere was completely over to the road construction.

Moma's open score and Lee Yoon-jung's serve ace widened the gap to 21-14. The Korea Expressway Corporation won its first championship in eight seasons as Moma's hard hit Shin Yeon-kyung's arm and bounced wide.
