“Congratulations, Da Hye-ya.”

GS Caltex, coached by Cha Sang-hyun, got their season off to a great start with a 3-0 (25-21, 25-22, 25-17) set victory over Jungkwanjang Red Sparks in the first round of the Dodram 2023-24 V-League Women’s Division at Jangchung Gymnasium in Seoul on Tuesday.

Making her V-League debut, Giselle Silva (real name Silva) led the way with 30 points, including three blocks and two aces. Ace Kang So-hwi also chipped in with 14 points, including three blocks.

The team’s reception efficiency of 47% was better than Jung Kwan-jang’s reception efficiency of 22%, and both offense and defense overwhelmed their opponents.

After the match, coach Cha Sang-hyun said, “I thought today’s match would be very long, and I thought we might lose the first set. I think we saw the effect of Jung Kwan-jang’s first game analysis. We prepared a lot for the systematic part, and it worked out well,” he said.

“The concentration of the players was good, and the atmosphere is good because they know that if they go up to Silva, they can handle it. There’s a lot less anxiety than before. We are playing with a sense of stability.”

As Cha Sang-hyun said, Silva was the star of the match. He left a strong impression on the fans at Jangchung Gymnasium with his powerful attacks and serves.

“She’s very good at volleyball. She has a good swing speed. She only looks slower because of her size, but her swing speed is probably similar to Sohui’s.” “From the outside, I didn’t see any nervousness or anything like that. The players trusted him. She was calm and played like an experienced player. She’s very good at volleyball.”

Despite the good start to the season, the team is not letting their guard down.

“It’s hard to judge based on one match,” said Cha Sang-hyun. Even though we won, I think the condition of the day will determine the match until the third round. There are ups and downs in each set. We have players who joined us after the Asian Games, so each team has its own struggles. The team that settles in quickly will be the one to take the early lead. After the second round, we’ll see what each team is really made of.”

As for setter Kim Ji-won, who hadn’t had much time to work with the offense since competing in the Hangzhou Asian Games, she said, “There were some hiccups, but Silva solved them, and there were a lot of errors from the opponent. It was good for us.”

He also had a word for Handa Hye, who is celebrating her 10th anniversary with GS Caltex. Handa-hye, who joined GS Caltex with the fifth 카지노 pick in the third round of the 2013 Rookie Draft, has been a GS Caltex One Clubwoman without a single transfer. In 200 matches for GS Caltex, Handahye has a 44.93% receiving efficiency and 2.975 digs per set. In the 2020-21 season, she was a mainstay on the travel team.

Coach Cha Sang-hyun said, “I was very nervous. Originally, I was going to play the 10th anniversary video, but in the middle of the video, I asked them not to play it because I was worried that the players would get emotional and I would get teary-eyed.” “Handa Hye is a player who has been with me for a long time. It’s hard for a player to stay with a team for 10 years. It’s hard for a player to stay with a team for 10 years without being traded, voluntarily or otherwise. I want to say congratulations to her, she’s been with the team for 10 years and is now the starting libero, which is amazing. Thank you to the players for sticking together.”
