pink-spiders
The top seed Hungkuk Life Pink Spiders prevailed in Game 4 of the Dodram 2018-2019 V League playoff finals against the reigning champions, and also No.2, Korea Expressway Corporation Hi-pass by a 3-1 (15-25, 25-23, 31-29, 25-22) to win the series 3-1 and lift the trophy. Recall that just a season ago, the Pink Spiders finished last-placed in the regular season standings!
It was the first time in 12 years that the Pink Spiders won both regular season and playoffs, taking them a full decade to regain the championship trophy, the fourth overall (2005/06, 2006/07, 2008/09, and 2018/19). At the same time, the Incheon based team became the V League title record-holder, getting in front IBK Industrial Bank Altos and KGC Ginseng Corporation who stopped at three national titles each.
Pole Berenika Tomsia (30 points) and native Lee Jae-Yeong (29 points) scored nearly 57% of all the Pink Spiders’ points in Game 4. Park Jeong-Ah and Senegalese Fatou Diouck put on 24 points apiece for Expressway.
The Pink Spiders outside hitter Lee Jae-Yeong was unanimously voted MVP of the championship by the media (29 votes). And only a few months back, she was labeled a traitor for not accepting an invitation to play for Korea national team although she suffered from various kinds of injuries through the 2017/18 season.
