No. 1 regular league owner at Pepper Savings Bank
The competition between Hyundai Engineering & Construction and Heungkuk Life Insurance in the women’s professional volleyball division, which is more intense than ever, will eventually go to the final round of the regular season.
Heungkuk Life won a set score of 3-0 (25-22 27-25 25-20) in an away match against Hyundai Engineering & Construction in the women’s team of the professional volleyball Dodram 2023-24 V-League at Suwon Gymnasium on the 12th.
As a result, Heungkuk Life Insurance, which recorded 76 points (27 wins and 8 losses), reduced the gap with Hyundai Engineering & Construction (77 points) to one point, reviving its faint hope for the top spot in the reversal.
If Heungkuk Life Insurance had lost on the day, it could have given Hyundai Engineering & Construction the top spot in the regular league, but in the end, it could continue the competition until the final match of the sixth round.
Pepper Savings Bank, the lowest-ranked team in the regular league, will take the top position.
Even if Heungkuk Life earns three points in the game against GS Caltex on the 15th, Hyundai Engineering & Construction will rank first in the regular league on its own if it wins a shutout victory over Pepper Savings Bank on the 16th.
Since both GS Caltex and Pepper Savings Bank failed to advance to spring volleyball, Heungkuk Life Insurance and Hyundai Engineering & Construction, which are clearly motivated, are likely to win side by side for now.
If Heungkuk Life, which will play first, beats GS Caltex to secure three points, all eyes will be on the match between Hyundai Engineering & Construction and Pepper Savings Bank in Gwangju on the 16th.
In the case of Heungkuk Life Insurance, Pepper Savings Bank’s struggle is so desperate that coach Marcello Avon terminal said after winning the Hyundai Engineering & Construction match the previous day, “I think I should send a fruit basket to Pepper Savings Bank.”
Coincidentally, Pepper Savings Bank was also the team that held Heungkuk Life back by winning 3-1 in the last match of the sixth round at home on the 8th.
However, against Hyundai Engineering & Construction this season, they lost all five matches and failed to lose any points.
Of course, attention is focusing on whether another unexpected result will come out just as no one expected that Pepper Savings Bank would catch Heungkuk Life.
