Reporter Moon Seong-dae = The professional volleyball women’s regular league has ended. There were concerns about the same as last year when the season was stopped midway in the aftermath of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19), but the season ended safely.
GS Caltex, who confirmed to win the regular league, lost with a set score of 1-3 in the match against KGC Ginseng Corporation held at the Chungmu Gymnasium in Daejeon on the 16th.
Professional volleyball suffered claudication in the aftermath of Corona 19. In the case of the male division, the season was suspended for two weeks as a confirmed case came out, but the female division ended the season as scheduled.
However, professional volleyball was played without spectators according to the quarantine guidelines, and the heat was slightly cooled.
GS Caltex, who recorded 20-10 losses (58 points) in the season, won the championship.
GS Caltex won the regular league 12 years after the 2008-2009 season and went straight to the championship. With the victory of the 3rd championship match, we will challenge ourselves to win the first integrated championship.
GS Caltex’s foreign player Lutz took charge of the team’s attack and led the championship, while So-Hwi Kang and So-Young Lee led the team by showing a stable offense defense throughout the season. Ahn Hye-jin showed stable ball distribution as he became the main setter.
In particular, GS Caltex showed concentration in the second half of the season. Heungkuk Life was brought down to second place by running Pajuk’s 6 consecutive wins until the championship was confirmed.
On the 26th, GS Caltex will play the first leg of the playoff (Heungkuk Life Insurance-IBK) winner and championship match at Jangchung Gymnasium on the 26th.
Heungkuk Life Insurance (19-11, 56 victory points), called’Heung Bengers’, was frustrated with the regular league championship in front of him.
Kim Yeon-kyung, who came to the Korean stage with a small salary to win the victory of Heungkuk Life, did her best until the end of the season, but in the end did not achieve her will.
Heungkuk Life Insurance ran for 10 consecutive wins after the opening and ran for the integrated championship.
However, at the end of the season, left-hand Lee Jae-young and the setter Lee Da-young were identified as past school violence perpetrators, putting cold water on the team atmosphere. Eventually, they were subject to indefinite suspension of their qualifications.
Heungkuk Life Insurance, where Lee Jae-young and Lee Da-young were missing, repeatedly lost and ended the season in second place.
IBK Industrial Bank (14-16, 42 points) struggled to win the last playoff ticket in third place in the regular league.
Along with Lazareba, who ranked second in scoring, domestic players such as Pyo Seung-ju, Kim Ju-hyang, Kim Su-ji and Kim Hee-jin made great strides and led IBK to’Spring Volleyball’.
Korea Expressway Corporation (13 wins 17 losses, 41 wins points), unfortunately, stayed in fourth place.
Kelsey’s scoring ability was somewhat disappointing. Kelsey’s attack success rate also did not reach 40%. The native players who would support Kelsey were also inadequate. Park Jung-ah’s distribution was not enough.
Ginseng Corporation (13-17, 39 points) aimed to advance to spring volleyball with the strong attack power of Diwoof, the best foreign player, but stayed in fifth place. The branches of Eunji Choi, Songi Han, and Euijung Ko were also somewhat faded.
Hyundai E&C (11 wins 19 losses, 34 wins points) was the lowest. After taking the lead setter Lee Da-young, the team united and raised their power, but this season did not produce a good result.
