Reporter Park Dae-ro = The natural enemy relationship between Heungkuk Life Insurance and Korea Expressway Corporation in the women’s professional volleyball team has been reversed. Heungkuk Life Insurance, who did not win a single game against the road construction last season, took a step closer to winning the regular league by marching on the contrary this season.
Heungkuk Life Insurance won a set score 3-0 (25-19 25-17 28-26) in the 5th round home game against Korea Expressway Corporation in the Dodram 2022-2023 V-League Women’s Division held at Samsan World Gymnasium in Incheon on the 23rd.
Heungkuk Life Insurance, who had three consecutive victories, took a step closer to winning the regular league by widening the gap with Hyundai E&C (62 points) from 4 points to 7 points with 23 wins and 7 losses and 69 points.
In addition, Heungkuk Life Insurance proved to be the natural enemy of road construction. In this season, Heungkuk Life Insurance has won all 5 matches against Expressway Corporation until the 5th round.
This is the opposite of the previous 2021-2022 season. Heungkuk Life Insurance became weak when it met only road construction last season. Heungkuk Life Insurance lost all 6 times in all 6 rounds last season.

Within a year, Heungkuk Life Insurance greatly reorganized the team. World star Kim Yeon-kyung returned to her parents’ home, and Yelena, a foreign apologetic spiker who played for KGC Ginseng Corporation last season, joined and is showing improvement in all areas of airlift.
In addition, setter Lee Won-jung transferred from GS Caltex and is showing a stable toss, and middle blocker Joo-ah Lee, setter Da-sol Kim, and Apposite Da-eun Kim have improved compared to last year. Veteran Kim Mi-yeon and Kim Na-hee are also maintaining their skills.
On the other hand, the road construction has domestic players, but foreign player Katarina was sluggish in the early and middle leagues. Katarina was released and Catbell, who played for Heungkuk Life Insurance last year, was brought in, but it is not overwhelming.
Heungkuk Life Insurance succeeded in calming the internal conflict caused by the resignation of former coach Kwon Soon-chan by hiring the Italian master coach Abondanza. Even in the absence of former coach Kwon, Heungkuk Life Insurance, which beat Hyundai E&C and ranked first, is gaining wings with the joining of coach Abondanza.
Attention is focusing on whether Heungkuk Life Insurance, which has established itself as the new nemesis of the road construction, will win the regular league championship with coach Abondanza and go directly to the championship match.
