"It was two shutdown losses in the season, but you can do it!"
GS Caltex's "Captain" Kang So-hwi fulfilled his pledge, "I really want to beat Heungkuk Life."
GS Caltex won the set score 3-1 (25-2016-25 27-25 25-19) in the third round of the 2023-2024 Dodram V League at Samsan World Gymnasium in Incheon on the 9th.
GS Caltex, which has 25 points, blocked Heungkuk Life Insurance Co. from winning its 10th straight game and is ranking first with 33 points. It has narrowed the gap with second-ranked Hyundai Engineering & Construction Co. (32 points).
GS Caltex got off to a flying start in the first set by banking on its strong lead. However, GS Caltex was held back by its error in the second set and brought the game to square one.
When GS Caltex's Kang So-hwi took the lead again with a score after a close match in the third set, he delighted with his teammates and put his hand on the two balls of his main setter Kim Min-ji, instilling confidence that he could do it.
Setter Kim Min-ji's eyes on Kang were also more serious and enthusiastic than cheering for the goal. GS Caltex, which secured the third set by Silva and Kang after deuce in the third set, cheered.
If Silva, Kang So-hwi and Yoo Eui-yeon exploded in the fourth set, the team ended the game with a victory. GS Caltex was all the more happy about its victory as it had shutout losses in two matches against Heungkuk Life Insurance since the opening of this season.
Silva scored 27 points, Kang So-hwi scored 18 points, Yoo Eui-yeon scored 10 points, and Han Soo-ji scored eight points in the fourth set. In particular, Kim Ji-won scored eight points in the fourth set to seal the victory. Setter Kim Ji-won also garnered compliments from GS Caltex coach Cha Sang-hyun for displaying stable game management.
Meanwhile, GS Caltex, which succeeded in escaping its losing streak against Heungkuk Life Insurance, will try to win consecutive games against Pepper Savings Bank in Gwangju on the 15th. 토토사이트
