GS Caltex beat Hyundai Engineering & Construction to advance to the championship game for the first time in five years.

GS Caltex defeated Hyundai Engineering & Construction with a set score of 3-0 (25-23 25-23 25-19) in the second round of the Jin Air 2025-2026 V-League Women's Playoff (PO 3 wins out of 3 games) at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on the 28th.

GS Caltex, which won the first game and secured the second game, secured a ticket to the championship with two wins and no losses in the series.

As a result, GS Caltex will try to win again for the first time in five years after the 2020-2021 season, when it went straight to the championship as No. 1 in the regular league. In addition, the probability of 100% (20/20) that the winning team in the first round of the women's PO will advance to the championship without exception continued.

The game was dominated by the firepower of the 'main gun' Silva. Silva led the attack with 32 points (49.09 percent attack success rate), the most by both teams. In particular, both the first and second sets completed the role of troubleshooter by scoring decisive points to end the set in a close game of 24-23. Kwon Min-ji added 13 points and Yoo Se-yeon added 8 points to support the team's victory.

On the other hand, Hyundai Engineering & Construction, ranked second in the regular league, ended the season in vain amid sluggish foreign players. Kari (12 points) and Zastis (10 points) were completely defeated in a firepower match against Silva, with a total of 22 points.

Yang Hyo-jin, who leaves the court after this season, worked hard with 13 points, but his team's defeat ended his last active game.

GS Caltex, which passed the PO, will play the championship game of three wins out of five against the Korea Expressway Corporation, which ranks first in the regular league, from April 1st.
