IBK Industrial Bank of Korea (39 points, 13 wins, 14 losses), who gained 3 points along with 2 consecutive wins, maintained 5th place and narrowed the points gap with 4th place CheongKwanJang (41 points, 13 wins, 14 losses) to ‘2’.

Pepper’s last win was against GS Caltex in Seoul on November 10 last year. It was 3 months ago. They are currently in 7th place out of 7 clubs (8 points, 2 wins, 26 losses) and are the only team with less than double digit points. Pepper, the youngest club founded in 2021, has been in last place in the league for the past two seasons. Each season, they suffered 17 consecutive losses, and they also suffered 20 consecutive losses over two seasons.

Pepper started the season with enthusiasm by recruiting Park Jeong-ah (31) and Yasmin Bedart (28, USA), a proven foreign player who is at risk of injury again, with the aim of ‘getting out of last place’ before this . term. However, there are no signs of a rebound this season either.

Pepper, unable to break the losing streak even on this day, the Lunar New Year, faced the indignity of breaking the previous women’s record for most losing streak in a single season (20 consecutive losses) and left by KGC Ginseng Corporation (currently Cheong Kwan). Jang) in the 2012-2013 season. If we expand the scope to the men’s division, the record for the most consecutive losses in a single season is KEPCO’s 25 consecutive losses in the 2012-2013 season.

Pepper will face Jeong Kwan-Jang at Pepper Stadium in Gwangju on the 16th.
