GS Caltex stopped Heungkuk Life’s successive streak, considered the strongest in women’s volleyball. Heungkuk Life ace Kim Yeon-kyung scored 36 points alone, but GS Caltex scored a reverse victory with sticky teamwork.
GS Caltex defeated Heungkuk Life Insurance with a fixed score of 3-2 (19-25 21-25 25-14 25-23 15-10) in the 2020-2021 V-League Women’s Division away match held at the Incheon Gyeyang Gymnasium on the 5th. Heungkuk Life Insurance, which had never lost a single game in 10 games this season from the game against GS Caltex on October 21 to the Korea Expressway Corporation on December 2, lost its first game in its eleventh match. The 14-win streak, which continued from the last four games of last season, also came to a halt.
Had Heungkuk Life won the GS Caltex match on Day 5, it could have set a new record for most consecutive wins in the V-League Women’s Division, but had to be satisfied with the ‘Thai Record’ due to a painful change . GS Caltex, which recorded 14 consecutive victories from January 10, 2010 against Korea Highway Corporation to March 18, 2010, maintained its record by stopping Heungkuk Life’s winning streak.
On this day, GS Caltex failed to stop Kim Yeon-kyung, the ‘world’s first-class left-hander’, and delivered a game or two in a row. Kim Yeon-kyung rose 21 points with a high attacking success rate of 60.71% in the first and second sets. On the other hand, GS Caltex native attacker So-young Lee scored 4 points in the first and second sets, and So-hui Kang scored just 3 points. But from the third set, GS Caltex fought back. Soyoung Lee helped Meretta Lutz, who scored 6 points in the third set and scored 8 points.
Kang So-hui, who struggled until the third set, bounced back with four points in the fourth set. When the triangle squads of Lutz, Lee So-young and Kang So-hui regained their attacking power, GS Caltex won the game over Heungkuk Life in the fourth set. In particular, he caught Kim Yeon-kyung’s attack five times at 24-23, eventually scoring with Han Su-ji’s blocking, breaking the spirit of Heungkuk Life Insurance’s main weapon and dragging the game into the fifth set. GS Caltex displayed an exciting reverse electrode in the fifth set. At GS Caltex, Lutz scored the team’s highest score with 31 points, and So-young Lee and So-hui Kang each scored 14 points.
GS Caltex coach Cha Sang-hyun said, “I didn’t want to scold the players during the game, but I made a nasty voice just before the third set.” At the same time, he also showed confidence in the regular season matchup with Heungkuk Life Insurance, which was held three times in the future with this round’s victory. Coach Cha expressed his anticipation and said, “I have to stick with (Hungkuk Life Insurance) again in the fourth round” and “I think it will improve in the future.”
