The women's volleyball V-League match between Heungkuk Life Insurance and IBK Industrial Bank of Korea held at Samsan World Gymnasium in Incheon on the 21st. Heungkuk Life Insurance won the IBK Industrial Bank with a set score of 3-1 (25-18 18-25 25-20 25-23). Heungkuk Life Insurance recorded its second consecutive win by throwing IBK Industrial Bank into a swamp of five consecutive losses. Heungkuk Life Insurance ranked first in the league with 50 points on a first-come, first-served basis and four points apart from Hyundai Engineering & Construction.
Foreign Apogit spiker Marta Matteiko (Matteiko) cheered up from the first set. He led the team's offense by scoring the most points (7 points) in the first set. However, he showed ups and downs with only one point in the second set and one point in the third set.
The problem is the low attack success rate of 30.3%. He is not able to take advantage of his tall height and his RBI is not high yet. He is showing improvement in defense by helping block with his teammates, but foreign spikers are not satisfied with scoring.

Heungkuk Life Insurance's 176cm short spiker Jung Yoon-joo filled Matteiko's shortfall. Jung Yoon-joo and Kim Dae-eun took turns raising the attack point. Matteiko, who returned to the court in the fourth set, also contributed to his team's victory with a decisive second consecutive score at 22-22.
For Heungkuk Life Insurance, Kim Yeon-kyung scored the most points in the team with 21 points, while Jung Yoon-joo scored 16 points and Matteiko scored 12. IBK Industrial Bank of Korea tried hard, with Victoria scoring the most 29 points in both teams, but failed to escape the losing streak.
Matteiko is a substitute who joined Heungkuk Life ahead of the fourth round. Matteiko was hired as a substitute to strengthen his power after the existing foreign Apogit spiker Tutku Bourgeu was sidelined with a long-term injury of more than four weeks.
Matteiko, a 197-centimeter-tall spiker, had high expectations from fans, but she is still more disappointed.

On January 7, he scored only three points before his debut with GS Caltex and was even replaced in the second set. He seemed to be adjusting to the new league by scoring 27 points in the game against the Korea Expressway Corporation on the 11th, but he showed sluggish performance by scoring only five points again in the game against Pepper on the 16th.
Matteiko, who scored 12 points against IBK on the 21st, contributed to his team's victory. However, he also recorded five personal mistakes.
Since its opening 14 consecutive wins, Heungkuk Life had three wins and three losses. The league's leading player has been able to take a breather with two consecutive wins, but Matteiko's ups and downs are still worrisome.
