The fact that setter Lee Won-jung and middle blocker Ha Hye-jin joined Pepper Savings Bank raised the team's atmosphere. "The atmosphere brightened as the player who had been injured came in and trained together," said Cho Ji-yeon, manager of Pepper Savings Bank. "(Ha) Hye-jin's return is like a welcome rain. It will go in as a replacement and boost the sense of play.Jump isn't 100% but it's better than a player who isn't ready for it. (I)Won-jung also plans to go in as a replacement today." The positive factor is that experienced main players can go in as a substitute and help when the team is shaking.

Pepper Savings Bank brought the first set by overwhelming the articles of association with blocking. In particular, he had good last-minute concentration.

And Park Eun-seo's relentless spike became a touchout and succeeded in turning the tables 23-22. Confused, Jeong Kwan-jang allowed Bukirich's attack to go off the line and even set points at 22-24. Pepper Savings Bank did not miss the opportunity Taylor's back attack was inserted and won the second set 25-23.

The momentum of the come-from-behind victory in the second set continued in the third set. Park Eun-seo's blocking succeeded, Lim Joo-eun's blocking, Jung Ho-young's attacking mistakes, Taylor's consecutive attacks, and Lim Joo-eun's blocking led 7-0.
