    Match MVP: Alaina BERGSMA (KGC Ginseng) youtube.com/watch?v=W-kNWMWxeXs, sports.news.naver.com/...405972&redirect=true


    - KGC Ginseng Alaina BERGSMA (23rd player) achieved 1,500 successful spike points with 47 from the match (currently on 1,538 successful spike points).



    Hyundai E&C ain't looking too good for the playoffs against IBK Altos as they are now on a 5 games losing streak. With poor receptions plus an increase in errors committed in recent matches and with Sonya MIKYSKOVA continuing to struggle to score Hyundai will have no chance of winning the championship. It might have been better for Hyundai if they had kept Daniela Elizabeth CAMPBELL. :S


    KGC Ginseng Alaina BERGSMA was impressive in this match with 47 spikes with a success rate of 51.09%. I was surprised she even played in this match after she hurt her ankle in her previous match. If Alaina continues in the V-League next season thru the tryouts as reported, then there is a fairly good chance that she will play for KGC again. However, there is also a greater chance that Heungkuk might get to her before KGC does as the lower rank team have a higher chance of getting the 1st pick through a lottery draw.

    - GS Caltex gave away too many points from unforced errors (13 spiking errors, 11 serving errors, and 6 setting errors). :wall:


    - What a wonderful performance from IBK Madison KINGDON/RISHEL, 32 spike kills at 53.33% success rate and only 1 spiking error. IBK reception was unusually woeful in this match at 20.99% success rate.

    - Heungkuk Pink Spiders surprisingly out-blocked Hyundai E&C 11-7, thanks largely to their rookie KIM Chae-Yeon who had 5 block kills for the match.


    - Hyundai E&C went winless in Round 6 and have now lost 6 matches in a row. Heading into the playoffs against IBK Altos, they have little chances to progress as Sona MIKYSKOVA continues to struggles and HWANG Youn-Joo is also struggling to score in some recent matches.



    Round 6 completed and the end of the regular season.

    - Hyundai E&C became the 2nd team to achieved 2,000 successful spikes in post-season with 50 from the match (currently with 2,014 successful spikes).



    - After IBK Altos took a massive lead early in the 1st set and then winning it comfortably 25-18, I was pretty sure that this match would be a repeat of the previous match. Much to my surprise, Hyundai E&C managed to pull it together and take the 2nd set. Hyundai led by a few points early in the 3rd set but IBK came back to lead by 4 points in the middle part of the third set and eventually lead 23-20. Miraculously Hyundai when on as 5 points run to snatch the 3rd set away from IBK, with two of those points coming from IBK errors. The first was a spiking error from Madison KINGDON and the second was from a net touch which was only discovered after a challenge from Hyundai. The 4th set was a much more tight contest with the momentum seesawing between the two teams. IBK look set to take the match into a fifth set when they denied Hyundai the sideout to lead 23-22 and then gaining 2 set points. Hyundai was able to ride out each set points thanks to servicing error by Madison and successful backcourt attack from HWANG Youn-Joo. A service ace from YANG Hyo-Jin allows Hyundai to re-take the lead again at 26-25. Madison then levelled the points at 26-26 but Youn-Joo quickly gave the lead back to Hyundai. LEE Da-Yeong seems exhausted while celebrating the point won by Youn-Joo, but she gathered herself together before she unexpectedly won the match for Hyundai with an ace.



    Looking at the articles after the match it seems like HAN Yoo-Mi was planning to retire at the end of this season and thought this would be her last match. My pick for MVP would be Hyundai captain and MB Hyo-Jin, she had a much better game this time around scoring a team-high 19 points including 3 aces and 6 blocks. Also of importance is this is the second time Hyundai has defeated IBK this season using only their Korean players and Hyundai head coach LEE Do-Hee has stated that she will start the 3rd playoff match with her Korean players again (poor Sona).


    - Both teams were even in the blocking with 10 blocks each but IBK reception took a hammering from Hyundai serves and conceding 9 aces to IBK 6. IBK also didn't help themselves with 9 errors committed in the 20s point mark. Madison had a game-high of 35 points at 40.74% success rate but oddly she committed 13 hitting errors and her spikes were blocked 5 times. KIM Su-Ji had her best blocking performance all season with 7 blocks but only manages to convert 2 of her spikes from 10 attempts.

    What a tense game. Hi-Pass won despite losing two close run sets and being down 10-14 (!) in 5th set. Park Jeong-Ah had a great match, with some crucial spikes, 27 points and almost 50% efficency rate.
    I'm really happy for Hi-Pass. It's only one game, but this victory may prove vital.

    Finals: Korea Expressway Corp. Hi-pass 2-0 IBK Altos



    Next Match: Finals Game 3 - Tuesday 27th March 2018 at 19:00 KST - IBK Altos (H) vs. Korea Expressway Corp. Hi-pass (A)



    I just realised that this season is very similar to the 2014/2015 season where IBK defeated Hyundai in the playoffs and play against Hi-pass in the Finals. However, the 2014/2015 season saw IBK Altos crowned as the champion despite Hi-pass winning the regular season. At home in front of a strong crowd of 6,152, Hi-pass came back from 1 set down to take out the match and now lead the series 2-0. Now with a 2-0 lead in the final series, can Hi-pass win their maiden championship and prevent history from repeating itself? Or can IBK make a comeback to claim back-to-back championships and their 4th in 6 years?
