KIM FINDS THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND THE TURN-AROUND FROM LAST PLACE TO SHUTOUT OF THE NO.1 TEAM

“We should have had more fans.”

Kim Yeon-kyung (Heungkuk Life, 36) credited her fans for helping her team defeat top-ranked Hyundai E&C in a shutout.

Heungkuk Life defeated Hyundai E&C 3-0 (25-22, 27-25, 25-20) in straight sets on Wednesday in the sixth round of the Dodram 2023-2024 V-League Women’s Division at Suwon Indoor Gymnasium in Jangan-gu, Suwon, South Korea.

The victory came from the brink for Heungkuk Life, who had to go five sets to win the title.

With the win, second-place Heungkuk Life improved to 27 wins and 8 losses for 76 points, closing the gap on leader Hyundai E&C (25 wins and 10 losses for 77 points).

The V League Women’s title will not be decided until the final match of the season.

The top offensive contributor to the victory was undoubtedly Kim Yeon-kyung.

After struggling to score the most points (19) in the last game, Kim led the Heungkuk Sinsaeng offense with 16 points on 45.45% shooting.

Willow Johnson (née Willow) led the team to a 25-22 comeback from a 16-20 deficit in the first set by scoring three points in the final minute of the first set.

From there, Willow’s performance started to pick up and she ended up scoring a team-high 21 points.

Heungkuk Life was two points away from losing the top spot in the regular season, but Kim Yeon-kyung didn’t let up in the second set, scoring three points after the 20th point to lead the team to victory.
