Woori Bank had a close game all the time in the match against Samsung Life Insurance of the 「Hana Bank 2024-2025 Women's Professional Basketball」 held at Yongin Indoor Gymnasium on the 7th, but after succeeding in the first quarter, Woori Bank won 62-60 with an outstanding concentration that never allowed a reversal and maintained its second place.
Woori Bank was in a bad mood in the previous game, losing 50-69 to BNK with its worst performance this season, but the players' willingness to lose back-to-back games was clearly different.
Ace Kim Dan-bi was tied to 14 points with a 35.3% success rate in fieldwork on the day, but Lee Myung-kwan, who faced 'Friendship Team', became the top contributor to the victory with 16 points, including 3 points. On top of that, Japanese guard Natsuki Sunagawa scored nine points in the first quarter alone, supporting the back with 12 points, which was effective in reducing dependence on Kim Dan-bi. In particular, the poor play was impressive enough to lead 33-29 in the rebound fight against Samsung Life Insurance, where center Bae Hye-yoon is holding out.
The match between the two teams to reclaim the second place alone was so hot that Woori Bank led 31-30 in the first half by only one point. Woori Bank seemed to have a clear victory, running to 57-50 and seven points with 3:35 left in the fourth quarter. However, Samsung Life Insurance followed Lee Hae-ran's two-point shot under the basket, and guard Jo Su-ah, who was sluggish in the attack, hit the only three points on the day. Woori Bank led by 5 points again when Lee Myung-kwan's 3-pointer with 50 seconds left in the end cut through the rim, but Samsung Life Insurance's Keana Smith was chased by 2 points again, allowing a 3-point play to the bonus one-shot following a middle shot jumper. Byun Ha-jung's 3-point shot failed in the last attack, but he effectively blocked a shot under the basket following Samsung Life Insurance's Kim Ah-reum's breakthrough to secure the victory.
Samsung Life Insurance's Lee Hae-ran and Kiana worked hard with 22 points each, but Bae Hye-yoon only scored eight points, stopping the winning streak at '7 wins'.
