IBK Industrial Bank of Korea beat GS Caltex in the third round of the Dodram 2024-2025 V-League at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on the 18th with a 3-1 set score (25-16, 23-25, 25-19, 25-23). IBK Industrial Bank of Korea followed the lead of third-ranked Jeong Kwan-jang (26 points) with 9 wins, 6 losses and 25 points in the season. The lowest-ranked GS Caltex fell into a terrible swamp of 11 consecutive losses, with only 1 win, 14 losses and 6 points in the season.
BK Industrial Bank Apogit Spiker Victoria Danchak was responsible for 26 points, the most in the team, followed by middle blocker Lee Ju-ah with 12 points. Hwang Min-kyung, Choi Jung-min, and Yuk Seo-young added 11 points evenly.
GS Caltex's main catcher Giselle Silva played a one-man show in which he scored 46 points purely through offense without blocking and scoring a serve. However, outsider heater Kim Mi-yeon scored only five points, and she had to swallow the disappointment as she received little support from her teammates.
Both teams desperately needed to escape back-to-back losses. IBK Industrial Bank of Korea maintains its top position even though its main catcher Lee So-young has not been able to support the offense at all throughout the season in the aftermath of his shoulder injury The recent losing streak has dampened the momentum. GS Caltex found it too difficult to secure its second win of the season even if foreign player Gisele Silva hurriedly returned from an ankle injury and tried his best.
IBK Industrial Bank coach Kim Ho-chul said, `The last two games of the second round and the first game of the third round were against the strong team. I think it's worse than I thought. Other than that, the players did better than expected. By the third round, it's time for the players to get tired. (I)If So-young comes back, the best power will be running, and the team is almost complete," he said, stressing that he should accumulate more wins than possible losses before Lee So-young returns.
GS Caltex coach Lee Young-taek said, `Victory is the most urgent thing. As the losing streak gets longer, that point (the sinking atmosphere) is the most difficult. Still, they say a lot that the most important thing is to do it in a good atmosphere during training and games. Silva is a competitive player and hates losing. He said he was doing well after his return from injury, so he could certainly break the losing streak"I hoped Silva would lead his colleagues well as a main gun.

The second set was a tight run to 18-18. IBK Industrial Bank lost three points in 18-15 when Choi Jung-min's open attack was blocked by Oh Se-yeon, and Lee So-young failed to get Lee Yun-shin's serve, allowing Silva to open attack. GS Caltex drove the attack to Silva when the victory was seen, and IBK Industrial Bank gave up the set 23-25 without stopping Silva, who was rushing. Silva scored 16 points alone in the second set.
IBK Industrial Bank of Korea has again taken away the important third set flow. Following setter Kim Ha-kyung's open attack at 11-11, Lee Ju-ah blocked Kim Mi-yeon's quick open to run 13-11. After that, Victoria and Hwang Min-kyung actively participated in the attack, and Lee Ju-ah's blocking and fastball burst in the right place, allowing them to overpower 25-19.
The fourth set was a tight race. As the attack was concentrated only on Silva, the success rate gradually declined, and naturally, it was difficult to beat IBK Industrial Bank. In the end, it was tied at 18-18, and in the situation of being dragged back to 21-22, Choi Jung-min's serve ace balanced 22-22. On 23-23, Victoria's serve score turned it around 24-23, and Silva's last attack was blocked by Yugaram's defense, which ended the match as it was.
