GS Caltex has finally regained its crown. He beat the Korea Expressway Corporation to become the champion for the first time in five years.

GS Caltex defeated Korea Expressway Corporation with a set score of 3-1 (25-15 19-25 25-20 25-20 25-20) in Game 3 of the women's championship match of the 2025-26 season at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul at 1:30 p.m. on the 5th.

As a result, GS Caltex regained the top spot for the first time in five years since the 2020-2021 season, when it achieved the treble (winning the cup tournament, ranking first in the regular league, and winning the championship game). It is the first championship in the women's history of the V-League to win the championship.

This season, GS Caltex was 1-5 underdogs against the Korea Expressway Corporation and the regular league, especially in Gimcheon, where it lost all three games, but it was different against the Champs. He won two consecutive games in Gimcheon, won at home Jangchung, and achieved the championship with three consecutive wins.

GS Caltex has been on a roll in spring volleyball. GS Caltex, which reached the semi-playoff at third place due to a fierce background at the end of the regular season, won a single game against Heungkuk Life Insurance and even beat Hyundai Engineering & Construction with two consecutive wins in the playoffs. In the match against the Champs, he lightly overpowered even the road construction, which ranks first in the regular league, and won six consecutive spring volleyball games.

On the other hand, the Korea Expressway Corporation lost three consecutive championships, failing to fight back and losing the championship. It failed to overcome the aftermath of the de facto dismissal of former coach Kim Jong-min, who led the regular league this season, six days before the start of the championship match.

Gisele Silva led the way with 36 points, the most for both teams. Kwon Min-ji and Oh Se-yeon contributed to the victory by scoring 14 points and 11 points, respectively. In particular, Oh Se-yeon scored seven successful blockings, the most by both teams.

GS Caltex took the lead by winning the first set. The flow was tight at the beginning of the set. In GS Caltex, Kwon Min-ji's open attack followed, and the Korea Expressway Corporation countered with Kang So-hwi's firepower.

But when Silva's body warmed up, it changed. Silva's successful attacks at 9-9, quickly widened the score to six points. On top of that, Kwon Min-ji's successful blocking was even more exciting. Setter Ahn Hye-jin tried to attack by evenly utilizing players from all positions. GS Caltex, which led with ease, won the first set 25-15.

The road corporation succeeded in counterattack. In an early tense trend, GS Caltex ran away with Oh Se-yeon's blocking and open attack. Silva continued his push throughout the spring volleyball, but he didn't show any signs of exhaustion.

However, it was regrettable that GS Caltex made several serve mistakes at the opportunity to run away. On the other hand, as the defense revived, the Korea Expressway Corporation narrowed the score by inducing mistakes and succeeded in turning the tables. Kim Se-bin's successful second consecutive blocking at the match point later led to the second set 25-19.

GS Caltex took the lead again. Amid the tight flow of the third set, GS Caltex widened the score by 5 points with Oh Se-yeon's blocking and Kwon Min-ji's open attack at 8-8. The Korea Expressway Corporation also chased Moma's back attack and Tanacha's blocking, and did not let the flow go.

Silva caused concern by slumping down to his seat as if he had a knee problem after scoring with a straight attack in the middle and second half of the set. But soon he got up and played again. GS Caltex brought the flow completely with Yoo's serve ace score, and won the third set 25-20.

GS Caltex has finally completed its victory and victory. The road corporation, driven to the edge of the cliff, attempted to attack more aggressively. However, he could not stop GS Caltex's momentum, which came up right before the championship. GS Caltex finished the fourth set 25-20 with Silva and Yoo Se-yeon playing evenly, and finally lifted the trophy.
