The Korea Expressway Corporation barely beat GS Caltex by a set score of 3-2 (25-22, 22-25, 25-23, 18-25, 16-14) in the first round match held at Jangchung Gymnasium on the 1st. Korea Expressway Corporation rose to first place with 3 wins and 1 loss and 8 points in the season, while GS Caltex dropped one spot to second place with 2 wins and 2 losses and 7 points.
The road corporation, Cameroon-born monster Apogit Spiker Moma, launched a 45-point onslaught, including three blocks and one serve. It was a new record for most points scored in an individual game. Tanacha added 18 points and Kang So-hwi added 10 points.
GS Caltex's foreign main gun Silva scored 37 points, including three blocks, three serves and 13 rear-end attacks, but was pushed back by Moma's runaway. Outside heater Raina also worked hard with 24 points in the Asian quarter.
The match drew great attention as the top-ranked GS Caltex and the second-ranked Korea Expressway Corporation faced off each other. From the first round, the women's team is closely tied from the top to the bottom, perfectly matching the description of a grand wedding match. Before the game on the 1st, GS Caltex and IBK Industrial Bank of Korea, ranked first, had only two points difference. This means that the top and bottom teams can be overturned at any time.
Before the game, GS Caltex coach Lee Young-taek said "Every day is really hard. It would be fun for those who see it already like this from the beginning of the season, but the players and coaches who play the game are really good," he said with a smile.
The Korea Expressway Corporation has maintained its top ranks well, filling the big variable of veteran middle blocker Bae Yu-na's departure due to injury with top prospect Lee Ji-yoon. Kim Se-bin and Lee Ji-yoon are holding out at the top as they exceeded expectations.
Kim Jong-min, director of the Korea Expressway Corporation, said "(Bae) Yuna is out, and (Kim) Se-jin continues to play in Yuna's position. It's hard to block and it's a place where you have to attack a lot. Sebin is doing well because he came up a lot so that you can't tell. (Lee Ji-yoon) is a rookie, so he has a lot of blocking details, but the attack is still perfect, maybe because the opponent doesn't know well yet. I think it's great because I don't make a big mistake or do anything wrong in the court."
