Poor Lee Da-Yeong. I hope it is only fatigue and nothing more serious.

The second game in a row where Spelman performances is a concern.

Another block-fest from Hyundai. KGC just couldn't stop Hyundai's MB duo of Yang Hyo-Jin and Jeong Ji-Yun. The pair scored a combined total of 50 points. Personal best of 11 block kills for Hyo-Jin (her former teammate Kim Se-Young holds the record for most block kills in a single match with 13 against GS Caltex on Feb 8th, 2017) and Ji-Yun scored twenty points for the first time.

The Hyundai vs KGC match ended in a similar fashion when the two teams met in KOVO Cup final last September. Both were 5-set matches, where Hyundai took the first two sets then KGC took the next two. In the 5th set, Ji-Yun gets the spike kills to get match point and then she goes and block Diouf to win the match for Hyundai again.

Like usual, Diouf is carrying KGC single-handedly. 110 swings (just under 57% of KGC total spike count) is simply crazy.

Lee JY injury news is really made me sad... the amount of injuries she has is alarming... if not treated properly and thoroughly, it can really damage her play and make her stop improving and retire early.... I hope she takes a break to "fix" all those injuries, so she can play better after... especially in olympic 2020

There is an update regarding Lee Jae-Yeong condition today. Jae-young was diagnosed with cartilage detachment due to water on her right knee. Luckily the cartilage is not a torn and she will need at least 2-3 weeks of rehabilitation. Source: 1

Congrats to South Korea.

Lavarini has done a wonderful job with the Korean NT.

Korea Volleyball Association (KVA) should really find a way to keep Lavarini and his staffs beyond the 2020 Olympics but I don't know if they have the resource to retain Lavirini services. If I remember correctly, KVA was able to look in to signing a foreign coach was all thanks to their Chairman Oh Han-Nam who forked out his own money. I wouldn't be surprised if Thailand approach Lavarini after the Olympics.
