GS Caltex, the lowest rank in women's professional volleyball, has overcome one major crisis. It beat the leader Heungkuk Life Insurance with a set score of 3-2 at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on the 7th, and escaped from a losing streak after 14 consecutive games. It was its second victory of the season in 67 days.

The tunnel was an awful long one. After winning against Pepper Savings Bank on Nov. 1 last year, GS Caltex failed to win even a single game and ended the first half of the year. It lost to 17 while staying at the 1st place for victory in this season. In fact, the game was not going smoothly on this day as well. They grabbed the first or second set, but lost three to four sets consecutively. They were dragged to 3-6 even in the fifth set, before tying the game with difficulty. In the end, Kim Yeon-koung, Heungkuk Life Insurance's flagship serve, was caught in the net, and the team won 14-13 in a dramatic fashion. GS Caltex players cheered for a while, and then hugged and cried. "It was really tough during the consecutive seasons. Still, I tried to comfort the players who did their best to endure it," GS Caltex coach Lee Young-taek said while holding back tears. 메이저사이트

GS Caltex had bad luck in the first half of the year. Foreign star Gisele Silva (registered name: Silva) missed four games due to ankle and knee injuries. Young players, the team's mainstay, suffered severe fluctuations in their performance. Finally, the team has set a new year's record of consecutive losses.

He couldn't rest peacefully even during the All-Star break. Rather, he strengthened his training. Several leaders, including Choi Tae-woong, former Hyundai Capital coach, assisted GS Caltex players as short-term instructors. Silva, who scored 51 points in the match against Heungkuk Life Insurance, said, "I trained like crazy. It was so hard that it was hard for me to talk to my daughter when I got home." "Even for me, the training was so intense. It exceeded the level of training that I can do at the All-Star break," Lee said, wiping out his chest. "I barely lost consecutive games because the players' will and the support of many people matched each other."

With momentum to turn around, GS Caltex is now finding hope. "As we are a young team, I think we can rebound with this momentum in the second half of the year," Lee said. "I think our players have grown further as we have lost consecutive games. We will desperately do our best and show consistent progress." Silva said, "It was very difficult during the losing streak. I feel like I was rewarded with strength training by beating Heungkuk Life Insurance," adding, "I hope we win more in the second half of the year. My goal for the second half of the year is to take good care of myself and participate in games regularly to help my team grow."
