Hana Bank won 70-56 after leading Incheon Shinhan Bank in the first round of the regular league home game of the 'Hana Bank 2024-2025 Women's Basketball' held at Bucheon Gymnasium at 4 p.m. on the 3rd. With the victory, Hana Bank won two consecutive games after losing its opening game to move to third place in the league alone. On the other hand, Shinhan Bank, which was considered a dark horse this season due to its aggressive recruitment of players, has lost three consecutive opening games.
The driving force behind Hana Bank's early lead came from Yuzuki, who was ranked ninth overall in the Asian quarter. Yuzuki, who has been the main guard since the Samsung Life Insurance match on the 1st due to knee pain of main guard Park So-hee, led the early game with a quick breakthrough and a 3-point shot based on his stable individual skills.
Yuzuki, who succeeded in two points and additional free throws following an active breakthrough early in the first quarter, made 8-2 by scoring eight consecutive points by himself, making a 3-pointer and a fastball. Thanks to Yuzuki's early surprise performance, Hana Bank eventually led the first quarter to a big 19-9 lead.
