The second set seemed to be a close match. Nia Reed’s firepower continued, and Kim Mi-yeon’s absence from her Heungkuk Life Insurance due to her knee injury was revealed.
However, Pepper Savings Bank’s receive line began to collapse after 12-12, and it could not continue its momentum.
Pepper Savings Bank once again showed its back in the third set, but Kim Yeon-kyung saved the team. Kim Yeon-kyung widened the score by scoring three consecutive points at 13-13, and maintained the lead with a quick open score when pursued at 16-15.
