‘Five-set upset’ Heungkuk Life defeats IBK to retain top spot in women’s volleyball

Heungkuk Life reclaimed the top spot in women’s volleyball thanks to an onslaught from ‘volleyball queen’ Kim Yeon-kyung and the game-orchestrating skills of setter Park Hye-jin, who made a surprise comeback. Heungkuk Life defeated IBK Kookmin Bank with a set score of 3-2 (26-24 22-25 25-18 23-25 18-16) in their Dodram 2023-2024 V-League Women’s Division home match at Samsan World Gymnasium in Incheon on Thursday. After briefly losing the lead to Hyundai E&C (11W4L, 35 points), who played one more match, Heungkuk Life climbed back to the top of the table with 13W2L, 35 points. The two teams have the same number of points, but Heungkuk Life has the edge in terms of wins .With the set score 1-1, Heungkuk Life eased into the third set, with Yelena Mrazenovic (real name Yelena) coming alive .After opening the third set with two consecutive service aces, Yelena scored eight points in the third set alone, including three points after the 20th point. In the fourth set, Heungkuk Life fought back from 16-22 down to tie the set in the final minutes of the set. Lee Ju-ah’s fast attack and three consecutive blocks by Kim Mi-yeon, Kim Yeon-kyung and Lee Ju-ah brought Heungkuk Life to 20-22, but at 20-23, Kim Yeon-kyung, who moved to the front row, scored three consecutive points to tie the set.

At 23-23, Kim Yeon-kyung blocked an attack by Brittany Abecrombie (registered name Abecrombie) and it looked like she was going to pull off the upset, but IBK head coach Kim Ho-cheol caught Kim’s centreline infringement and lost the point on video review .In the end, Heungkuk Life was unable to stop Pyo Seung-ju’s attack and sealed the win in the fifth set .Heungkuk Life was trailing 10-13 when Kim Yeon-kyung’s timed attack brought her back to serve, and Reina Tokoku (registered name Reina) tied the score with two consecutive points .A netted error by her opponent’s blocker brought her back to 14-13, but she was unable to stop Hwang Min-kyung’s quick-opening attack and the match went into deuce .At 16-16, Reina’s hard shot hit the IBK blocker and went out of bounds, and Reina once again bombed the opponent’s court to win the match .Heungkuk Life’s Kim Yeon-kyung made her presence felt with a team-high 36 points, filling the void left by Yelena’s 16 points. Reina, who replaced Yelena in the fifth set, finished with 11 points. Heungkuk Life setter Park Hye-jin, who did not play a single match last season as she rehabbed from knee surgery, made a surprise start after main setter Lee Won-jeong was diagnosed with the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and contributed five points, including three blocks. It’s been a year and nine months since Park played in a league match since 21 March 2022 against GS Caltex.

Despite dropping the game, IBK took home a point and moved into fourth place with 8 wins, 8 losses and 23 points, pushing Jungkwanjang (7 wins, 8 losses and 23 points) into fifth place.

KB Insurance, which had hoped to climb out of last place with two straight wins, stayed on track. Hyundai Capital took a 2-0 lead in the set and looked to be on course for an easy three points, but they dropped the third and fourth sets and barely managed to win the fifth set .Hyundai Capital’s Ahmed Iqbairi (real name Ahmed) scored a team-high 37 points, while Hong Dong-seon (16 points), 온라인카지노 Heo Soo-bong (12 points) and Choi Min-ho (10 points) also reached double figures.
