We lost all two games against Pepper Savings Bank this season. However, we could not give up the most wins for the "New Team" in front of home fans. After a full set of bloodshed, he clinched the victory.
The Korea Expressway Corporation won the set score 3-1 (25-27, 25-23, 25-20, 22-25, 15-7) in the third round of the women's V-League at Gimcheon Indoor Gymnasium on the 19th.
With the victory, the Korea Expressway Corporation is chasing fifth-place Pepper Savings Bank (5-10, 16 points) with 4 wins and 12 losses (12 points). With Tanacha (28 points and 2 blocks), Kang So-hwi (22 points and 3 blocks), Kim Se-bin (11 points and 5 blocks), Nicolova (15 points) and Bae Yu-na (6 points and 4 blocks), etc. matched their performances, which also saved weak hopes for spring volleyball.
In particular, the Korea Expressway Corporation, which had only three wins out of three against GS Caltex this season and was losing all five teams, took a breather with the victory. Regardless of victory or defeat, the energetic court atmosphere led by Tanacha and rookie setter Kim Dae-eun stood out. In particular, Kim Dae-eun hit three serve aces and became the main player in the team's victory.

On the other hand, Pepper Savings Bank, which had challenged for the most wins (6 wins) in a single season since its foundation, lost after a fierce battle, swallowing regret. Park Jung-ah (21 points) showed her true value for the first time in a long time, but failed to connect with victory.
Both teams did not have a smooth receiving or second-stage connection. Therefore, the decision of the two teams' main guns to solve the crisis and the blocking of the middle blockers became a brilliant game.
Cho Ji-yeon, manager of Pepper Savings Bank, who met before the game, said, `Let's not put meaning on records such as most wins and consecutive wins. There are still too many seasons left. This season's goal is to win double digits. I will concentrate on every game." Referring to the difference between Lee Won-jung, a setter with a good sense of stability, and a doctor who is good at using foreigners, "I will use it according to the situation." was also quoted as saying.

Kim Jong-min, director of the Korea Expressway Corporation, said, `As the defeat builds up, the trust among the team members begins to falter. Volleyball is a group sport, so it's most important to believe in each other."
Like Pepper Savings Bank, it is a road construction that has a lot of setter concerns. Manager Kim Jong-min said, `Lee Yoon-jung is still the main setter. However, they should show more of their potential and development. We need to be able to try and change more boldly."
The first set was a come-from-behind defeat for the Korea Expressway Corporation. At the beginning of the set, the receiving shook and gave up the lead 1-6 and 8-12.

Kim Se-bin's blocking and two serve aces changed the atmosphere. On top of that, Tanacha and Nicolova stepped up to lead 24-22.
It shook suddenly here. Pepper Savings Bank's Jangwi and Lee Han-bi scored consecutive points to tie the score at 24-24, and Tanacha added one more point, but Nicolova's serve mistakes and Bae Yuna's attack mistakes followed and gave up the first set in vain.
However, following the last modern construction match, it was definitely a different performance from the beginning of the season. Above all, Tanacha's performance was brilliant, and Kang So-hwi also found the rhythm. He overcame his weaknesses in height and began to show off his veteran presence.

The Korea Expressway Corporation made another 24-22 with Kim Se-bin and Bae Yu-na's consecutive blockings and Tanacha's score at 21-22, and did not miss the second set.
The Korea Expressway Corporation, which gained momentum, won even three sets, solidifying its victory. Kang So-hwi and Bae Yu-na revived and led the atmosphere of the third set. At 16-17, Bae Yu-na scored four points in a row with her opponent's mistake, Kim Dae-eun's direct kill and Kim Se-bin and Kang So-hwi's block, and finished the third set accordingly.
However, they lost the fourth set again.

Tanacha led in the first half of the fifth set and Kang So-hwi in the second half. Tanacha, who scored his first point with a block, drove Pepper Savings Bank to the brink by scoring for the second consecutive time. Coach Kim Jong-min added stability to the defense by using Moon Jung-won without Nicolova.
The mercenary skills that can be done because they have faith in one-two punch worked. Kang So-hwi added explosive power and widened the gap to 10-4. Kim Dae-eun's serve ace was inserted once again to seal the victory. Kang So-hwi and Tanacha split the opponent's court one after another. Tanacha finished the game with the last dagger.
