Willow, who played as Heungkuk Life Insurance’s right wing,

scored her first point in the V-League with a left-handed back attack at 7-7 in the first set,

then decided the first set with a back attack at the set point.

The spotlight was on Willow, but Reina Tokoku (registered name Reina),

who played as a left winger, gave a more decisive endorsement.

Raina, who was born to a Ghanaian father and a Japanese mother,

is a 177cm tall striker who joined Heungkuk Life Insurance this season in the Asian quota.

Raina scored 11 points in the first set and then combined with Willow (7 points) for 12 points in the second set.

Kim Yeon-kyung, the main gun of Heungkuk Life Insurance,

lived up to the name of a problem solver by turning the game around with consecutive time-lag goals

when Korea Road Corporation missed several opportunities due to poor service at the set point after entering the second set deuce.

Heungkuk Life Insurance, which took the victory,

pushed hard at Road Construction in the third set with the triangle formation of Raina (22 points),

Kim Yeon-kyung, and Willow Johnson, easily adding 3 points.
