The Korea Expressway Corporation beat Hyundai Engineering & Construction 3-1 (32-30, 25-16, 26-24, 25-17) in the fifth round match held at Suwon Gymnasium on the 11th. Korea Expressway Corporation finally shook off the humiliation of losing all four games to Hyundai Engineering & Construction until the fourth round. The Korea Expressway Corporation scored 29 points with 10 wins (17 losses) this season, pushing Pepper Savings Bank (27 points) to sixth place and moving one place up to fifth place.
The even performance of the road construction strikers was outstanding. Tanacha scored 24 points, Kang So-hwi scored 18 points, and Nicolova scored 16 points, overpowering Hyundai Engineering & Construction, which struggled by scoring 30 points alone.
The second-place Hyundai Engineering & Construction has lost two consecutive games, making it even more difficult to see the lead battle with Heungkuk Life Insurance. Hyundai Engineering & Construction had 17 wins and 10 losses and 53 points in the season. It failed to close the 11-point gap with No. 1 Heungkuk Life Insurance (64 points), but rather, it seems that we should be more wary of No. 3 Jeong Kwan-jang (50 points), who followed up to the 3-point gap.
Hyundai Engineering & Construction lost its outside heater Wipawi in the Asian quarter, which had a high proportion of offense this season. Wi Pawi injured his left knee in the process of landing after an attack in Jeonggwanjangjeon on the 7th. Hospital examinations revealed that he needed surgical treatment due to ruptured left anterior cruciate ligament and damage to the outer meniscus cartilage.
Hyundai Engineering & Construction saw the fifth round as a watershed in the lead fight, but the loss of Wipawi caused the plan to get twisted. There is a high possibility that he will leave the post as there are no new Asian quarter players to be recruited.
Hyundai Engineering & Construction coach Kang Sung-hyung said, `Every season comes with a crisis. This is a variable, and we need to solve it. There doesn't seem to be a replacement. First of all, there is (Jeong) Ji-yoon, and there is (Go) Yerim who can do it. Yerim has been good lately. The replacement is Seo Ji-hye. I didn't get into the game, but I practiced hard and I'm getting a lot better. When the ranking fight is decided, they try to use such players (like Seo Ji-hye). "Because we have to prepare for the playoffs and so on..." he said, vowing to hang in there somehow.

Kim Jong-min, the director of the Korea Expressway Corporation, said, `It is relatively high Looking at it, there is no point in the open attack. It's a counterattack process, and the side-outs work well in the set play, but that doesn't seem to work"It's the growth of young players rather than the big goal now. Kim Se-bin and Kim Da-eun are improving a lot, and their current goal is to gain a little more experience and grow up,' he said calmly.
Korea Expressway Corporation gave up the first set 30-32, seemingly kneeling on Hyundai Engineering & Construction again. Hyundai Engineering & Construction was very aggressive, with Moma scoring 15 points in the first set alone, and Korea Expressway Corporation confronted Nicolova, Tanacha, and Kang So-hwi as they shared the offensive burden. It was a tight fight with a blood fight from 30-30, but Moma allowed two consecutive back-strikes and lost the first set despondently.
In the first set, Hyundai Engineering & Construction was rather the one who got sick. The Korea Expressway Corporation widened the score gap from the beginning and easily balanced the set score by 25-16. Moma, who played a great role in the first set, scored only two points in the second set, and Tanacha and Nicolova still flew. Bae Yu-na also helped in the center, completely turning the flow of the game upside down.
As the Korea Expressway Corporation took care of the third set, which was the watershed of the game, the first victory in the Hyundai Construction match was just around the corner. Leading 20-16, Kim was shaken by Hyundai Engineering & Construction's serve and chased to 20-20, but Kim Se-bin did not completely hand over the atmosphere as he defended the lead with a fastball. In the 24-24 deuce situation, following Moma's back-attack error, Kang So-hwi ended the long rally with an open attack, turning it over 2-1 with a set score.
The Korea Expressway Corporation was dragged 0-3 at the beginning of the fourth set, but Nicolova quickly turned it to 3-3 origin as she shook her opponent's receiving with a serve. While Hyundai Engineering & Construction was self-destructing due to an attack error, Korea Expressway Corporation ran to 9-5 and set the stage for three points. Kim Se-bin continued to block Moma's back attack, leaving Hyundai Engineering & Construction wandering without finding a breakthrough, and breaking Hyundai Engineering & Construction's willingness to lead to a full set by running 16-10. The Korea Expressway Corporation finally enjoyed the joy of victory in Suwon by keeping the score gap to the end.
