They struggled particularly against the opposing middle blocker, Choi Jeong-min.

Sharp serves.

Even Kim Yeon-koung was blocked, and they fell behind.

However, the 'world-class' player showed her strength.

Heungkuk Life Insurance managed to tie the game to deuce with a ball saved by libero Shin Yeon-koung, finished off by Kim Yeon-koung, and ultimately took the first set.

The Yeon-koung duo was even more perfect afterward.

Setter Lee Go-eun, who joined the team this season and felt a lot of pressure, also found it easier to contribute both offensively and defensively.
