Who can block the steps of the volleyball emperor. Heungkuk Life Insurance won its opening 11th consecutive game by quelling the gust of Pepper Savings Bank.
Heungkuk Life Insurance won a complete victory with a set score of 3-0 (25-22, 25-23, 25-18) in the second round of the women's V-League at the Dodram 2024-2025 season at Pepper Stadium (Yumju Gymnasium) in Gwangju on the 1st.
With this, Heungkuk Life took the lead without hesitation with all 11 wins (32 points). Tutku (20 points, 56.7% attack success rate) scored the most points in both teams, followed by Kim Yeon-koung (13 points), Jung Yoon-ju (9 points), Peach (8 points) and Kim Soo-ji (5 points and 3 blocks).
On the other hand, Pepper Savings Bank, which had recently turned the mood around with two consecutive wins, tried to leap to the upper-middle level by showing off a hopeful atmosphere, but failed to cross the wall of Heungkuk Life. It was comforting for foreign player Taylor (17 points) to play his best game since joining the team.
Hyundai Engineering & Construction holds the record for the most consecutive wins in the women's V League. He has won 16 consecutive games in the 2022-2023 season. For Heungkuk Life Insurance, the trend to challenge the club's all-time record (13 consecutive wins) has been burned.

"Communication with the team has improved," Heungkuk Life coach Marcelo Avonja, who met before the game, smiled. It is an overwhelming run, with only one game (11/12 Jeonggwanjangjeon) in Gyeonggi Province, which had a close full set in the process of its opening 11th consecutive win.
Coach Abondaji said, `First of all, we just have to advance to the playoffs without hiding our desire to win consecutive games. In fact, there were games that luck followed"There are still a lot of details to be reinforced," he stressed. As for Jung Yoon-joo, who has been supporting Tutku and Kim Yeon-koung well this season, "I put a lot of thought into making my strengths come alive, and I trained a lot." We need to play a lot of games now" expressed satisfaction.
Cho Ji-yeon, manager of Pepper Savings Bank, said, `Kim Yeon-kyung is a player who does his part anyway. It is important not to be penetrated by other players." As for Lee Han-bi, who is serving as a housekeeper for the team this season, "I think I've found a rhythm now. He's a really sincere player, and the amount of training has accumulated, and now he's showing his performance."

It was a close game from the first set. As soon as the first set started, Pepper Savings Bank had a fight, asking for a video review. Taylor, a foreign player, also showed off her activism from the beginning. On the other hand, Heungkuk Life Insurance was shaken by rare mistakes, such as overlapping Kim Yeon-kyung and Shin Yeon-kyung, who tried to raise the chance ball. They fell one step behind Pepper, 7-8, 15-16.
However, it was different in terms of the outcome. At 17-19, Kim Soo-ji blocked Park Jung-ah to change the flow, and at 22-22, Tutku won three consecutive points with open attack and blocking to close the set.
At the beginning of the second set, Heungkuk Life, with Jung Yoon-joo at the forefront, took the momentum first. Jung Yoon-joo led the early lead by connecting it with a bold attack when setter Lee Go-eun posted two difficult passes at 3-3. As the main gun Tutku was a little sluggish, this time Kim Yeon-koung went to the front and bombed the opponent's court.

Heungkuk Life Insurance, which was steadily leading, was chased by 21-20 at the end of the set under pressure from Pepper Savings Bank's chief. However, Jung Yoon-joo gave a shot at the crisis, and Kim Yeon-koung took the lead with a clever move to avoid her hand when hitting the opponent. He suffered from Taylor's onslaught until the end, but he won even the second set as Taylor's impatience at 24-23 led to a net touch.
In the third set, Pepper Savings Bank's performance was noticeably shaken, and Heungkuk Life did not miss the reins. In particular, the opponent's consecutive mistakes at 11-8 and the width of the Kim Yeon-kyung-Tutku-Jung Yoon-ju Triangle were added to quickly widen the gap to 16-8, 21-12, and the game ended as it was.
