This year, we're out of last place? Pepper Savings Bank is looking higher.

Pepper Savings Bank will play a modern construction match in the first round of the women's V-League in the 2025-2026 season of Jin Air at Pepper Stadium in Gwangju on the 30th.

He is the main character who is making women's volleyball into the Spring and Autumn Warring States era this season with one win and one loss in the previous two games. He recorded one win (Korea Expressway Corporation) and one loss (IBK Industrial Bank) against the two teams competing for the first place.




What's important is that we're not at full strength yet. Foreign player Joey is recovering from a knee injury. Originally, the game was expected to be a return match, but Pepper Savings Bank coach Ji Sung-yeon decided to give one more game of rest to be more cautious.

Director Jang Ji-yeon said, `I am participating in the training. However, there is still anxiety about movement due to injuries. I don't think I'll be able to participate today. We plan to push for a return as soon as possible." Park Eun-seo will fill Joy's vacancy. Park Eun-seo is the No. 1 contributor to sinking the favorite with a whopping 24 points in the road construction match.

"It would have been nice if the full force was in place before the opening. So far, we are asking our players to hang in there for the first round. Still, Joey will be back soon, and Ko Ye-rim has now overcome her shoulder injury and started hitting the attack."




Middle blocker Ha Hye-jin is also absent due to injury. Lim Joo-eun, who is in her fourth year, is filling the gap, but she is still a pushover. Shimamura's burden in the Asian quarter, which has emerged as a guard of other teams at the beginning of the season, has increased.

Coach Jang Ji-yeon said, `Lim Joo-eun will start again today. I have rookie Kim Seo-young, but I still need time to adapt to the league. "

"As a player, you should think of it as an opportunity. Shouldn't we gain hands-on experience and grow through this situation. When the team is in a crisis like this, it helps to strengthen teamwork by helping each other. While our players are holding on right now, one by one, when our injured players return, we will have our pace."
