GS Caltex won a come-from-behind victory over Hyundai E&C with a set score of 3-2 (25-22 19-25 19-25 25-23 15-12) in the 2022-2023 V-League Women’s home game held at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on the 20th. It is the first time in 686 days since GS Caltex’s victory over Hyundai Engineering & Construction on March 5, 2021, in the 2020-2021 season. I couldn’t win once in the last 2021-2022 season, and even this season, I met three times before the game and lost.
GS Caltex, which escaped from 8 consecutive losses against Hyundai E&C, added 2 points to 11-11 and 33 points, pushing Korea Expressway Corporation (11-10, 32 points) and leaping to third place alone.
GS Caltex took the lead by leading 9-3 at the beginning of the first set, but Hyundai E&C caught up to 22-21 with the power of the leading team. In the end, GS Caltex took the first set, but the entire team was shaken by the strong offensive power of Hyundai Engineering & Construction’s Jung Ji-yoon, who started from the second set, and gave up the second and third sets.
GS Caltex, whose defeat was deepening, faced bad news in the 4th set. In the beginning of the 4th set, Mo Ma injured his left knee while landing after an attack. GS Caltex, which had Mun Ji-yoon put in and had domestic players play against each other, showed a stronger power. Against Jeong Ji-yoon, who has poor receiving ability compared to his excellent attack power, he showed the power to halve his attack power by putting a series of target hits in a row. The match was easily led to the 5th set with a 22-16 lead, but Hyundai E&C also allowed Lee Da-hyun’s consecutive serve ace and Hwang Min-kyung to score consecutive attacks, allowing a 23-23 tie.
At the moment when I thought the jinx before Hyundai E&C was going to repeat itself, Yoo Seo-yeon’s strong hit and Moon Ji-yoon’s quick open burst in succession, eventually dragging the match to the 5th set.
In the 5th set, Yoo Seo-yeon came out as a solver. Yoo Seo-yeon, who started the game on the bench, started in the third set and scored twice in a row in an 11-9 situation. Then, as Hyundai E&C followed up again to 14-12, the team won with a single attack to finish the game that day.
For GS Caltex, Kang So-hui scored the most points in the team with 25 points and 3 blocks, while Yoo Seo-yeon and Han Su-ji contributed 12 points each. MoMA showed destructive power by scoring 24 points until being replaced at the beginning of the 4th set.
Even after foreign player Yasmin was eliminated, Hyundai E&C, which kept its lead by cruising, ended its 5-game winning streak with its 3rd defeat of the season. Hyundai Engineering & Construction, who added 1 point by playing a full set, widened the gap with Heungkuk Life Insurance (17-5, 51 points) in second place with 57 points (20 wins and 3 losses) to 6 points.
After the game, coach Sang-Hyun Cha said, “The players were likely to shake as Moma fell out, but fortunately the players came together well.” . Jung Ji-yoon was able to win thanks to the atmosphere of giving up the game well,” he said overall.
