A dramatic come-from-behind victory. Mega was at the center of it.

Jeong Kwan-jang won the set-score 3-2 (18-25, 26-24, 20-25, 26-24, 15-) in the second round of the women's division of the Dodram 2024-2025 V-League at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on the 23rd.

Jeong Kwan-jang, who escaped from four consecutive losses with the victory, added two points. It's a valuable win. On the other hand, GS Caltex, which lost five consecutive games, only added one more point and recorded one win and eight losses.



The two teams, which have been in a four-game losing streak, have prepared for their participation with foreign aces in normal condition. GS Caltex's 「Ace" Giselle Silva (registered name Silva), who suffered a calf muscle injury, returned from the Gimcheon Korea Expressway Corporation match on the 19th, but was not in normal condition, with a series of mistakes. However, I was able to look forward to this day as it was my second game after returning.

In addition, Megawatti Puttiwi (registered name Mega) also returned to the presidential office of the articles of association. Mega missed the match against Heungkuk Life on the 20th due to thigh pain, and Jeonggwanjang, who was without Mega, was defeated 0-3 by Heungkuk Life Insurance. Fortunately, his condition recovered on this day. Coach Chung Kwan-jang and Ko Hee-jin said in an interview before the game, `Even during yesterday's training (22nd), there seemed to be no problem at all. He said he could play normally today.



With the injured guns not 100 percent in condition, the two teams were in a tight race.

GS Caltex dominated the first set. The set attack success rate was 44%, far ahead of Jeong Kwan-jang, who was only 33%. GS Caltex, which was leading by seven points due to Silva's performance, allowed the pursuit as the receiving faltered. However, Wyler cut off the opponent's flow by performing like an altoran on the day, and Yoo Se-yeon took the atmosphere as a serve ace. GS Caltex, who reached the set point first, easily won the first set.

In the second set, Jeong Kwan-jang laughed. In the beginning, GS Caltex had a close race when Silva's offense came out, but Wyler stepped up as the troubleshooter. However, as Pyo Seung-joo revived and scored three points in an instant, Jeong Kwan-jang also gained momentum.

A one-point super-contact pattern unfolded, and despite Weiler's struggles, Jeong Kwan-jang took a narrow lead as Bukirich scored. Set point in articles of association with mega's attack success in deuce 24-24. Silva's dig failure allowed Jeong Kwan-jang to take the second set.

In the third set, Jeong Kwan-jang self-destructed. Unlike GS Caltex, which escapes the crisis every time with a serve ace, Jeong Kwan-jang has been hampered by mistakes, including serve misses. Jeong Kwan-jang, who was blocked until the last mega attack, gave up three sets too easily.

GS Caltex, which was ahead of the attack success rate throughout the game, struggled with its early defense faltering. But Wyler changed the mood. Park Eun-jin, who was in good condition, scored a missed attack on the arm, and the atmosphere changed in an instant as Oh Se-yeon and Lee Ju-ah blocked Mega's back attack.

After that, a tie, a turnaround, and a tie-breaking match continued. GS Caltex, which was being dragged out, quickly tied the score 22-22 due to Wyler's fastball score and Mega's failure to attack at a time when hope was disappearing.

Chung Kwan-jang reached the set point first due to Mega's successful time difference attack, but GS Caltex also focused until the end. Following Silva's score, Mega's attack went off the line, creating a dramatic deuce.

However, Jeong Kwan-jang, who was in crisis, took the fourth set with a dramatic comeback as Mega succeeded in two consecutive attacks.

Last five sets. Jeong Kwan-jang, who revived Mega, further increased the proportion of Mega's attacks. Mega continued to hit the ball coming up early in the fifth set, leading to a score. Compared to the beginning of the game, he looked fully recovered. GS Caltex, on the other hand, is getting tired. Jeong Kwan-jang, who widened the gap to eight points in the fifth set, secured the victory with the last opponent's touchout following Pyo Seung-joo's score. Mega topped the team with 23 points, followed by Pyo Seung-joo (18 points), Jung Ho-young (16 points) and Park Eun-jin (14 points), confirming a dramatic victory.
