The Korean women’s volleyball team failed to win a set in three consecutive matches at the World Championships.
South Korea’s set score 0-3 (17-25 18-25 16-) against Poland in the home court in the third round of Group B of the 2022 International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) World Championships held at Ergo Arena in Gdansk, Poland on the 29th (Korean time) 25) lost.
Korea lost 3-0 to the Dominican Republic, Turkiye (Turkey) and Poland in a row, and the content of the match fell short of expectations to the extent that no set had more than 20 points.
Poland, led by coach Stefano Lavarini, who led Korea to the quarterfinals at last year’s Tokyo Olympics, was greatly pushed 2-9 in blocking as they felt inferior in height.
Middle blocker Lee Joo-ah (Heungkuk Life Insurance) scored 13 points, the most in the team, and Lee Seon-woo (KGC Ginseng Corporation) scored 8 points.
Korea will challenge Thailand for the first win in this tournament at 9 pm on the same day.
