Korea Expressway Corporation crushed Hyundai Construction to advance to the semifinals of the '2026 Yeosu NH Nonghyup Cup Professional Volleyball Tournament.'

On the 14th, at Jinnam Gymnasium in Yeosu, South Jeolla Province, Korea Expressway Corporation defeated Hyundai Construction by a set score of 3-0 (25-17, 25-16, 25-18) in Group B of the women's group stage.

Following their victory over GS Caltex on the 12th, Korea Expressway Corporation secured a two-game winning streak and clinched first place in the group regardless of the results of the remaining group stage matches, earning a spot in the semifinals.

The performance of the trifecta stood out. Foreign player Moma (18 points), Asian quota player Mamy (15 points), and Kang So-hwi (11 points) combined for 44 points to lead the offense. In particular, newly joined Mamy was active on both offense and defense, scoring 9 points in the first set alone with an 80% attack success rate.

On the other hand, Mega, who returned to the V-League after two years away from Jeong Gwan-jang, scored 14 points in her return match for Hyundai Construction, but committed five errors and posted a low attack success rate (35.9%).

In the second set, taking advantage of consecutive errors by Hyundai Construction, they strung together a block by Kim Se-bin and consecutive points from Moma and Kang So-hwi to score eight straight points and widen the lead. With the game in hand, Korea Expressway Corporation brought in various bench players.

The third set remained close until the midpoint. From a 17-17 tie, consecutive points by Mamy, a powerful spike by Moma, and a block by Kim Hyeon-ji followed in succession to seal the match.
