thundering offensive exploits.
It was the
second victory for IBK Altos in the best-of-five final series with the next
match scheduled on April 2 also in Pyeongtaek a city to the south of
Seoul. GS Caltex won the first contest
also in five sets.
After winning the first two sets by comfortable margin, the team based in Hwaseong faced a strong reaction from the other side of the net as GS Caltex evened up the score with the powerful attacks by De la Cruz leading the way.
