U-17 Women's Volleyball Team Extends Winning Streak to Four Matches With Victory Over Dominican Republic

The South Korean national under-17 women's volleyball team has continued its fierce momentum at the World Championship, securing its fourth consecutive win.

Ace Son Seo-yeon once again led the team to victory, exploding for 23 points.

The upward trend that saw Korea defeat European powerhouse Italy carried over into the match against the Dominican Republic.

After a tightly contested opening, the national team pulled away with a flurry of points in the middle of the first set to claim it.

Though a stumble in teamwork cost them the second set, the squad grew even stronger in the face of adversity.

Trailing by three consecutive points at the start of the third set, the team bounced back following a timeout called by manager Lee Seung-yeo to regain the lead. In the fourth set, they completed the victory with a dominant performance that never allowed the opponent a single lead.

With Son Seo-yeon contributing a match-high 23 points and Jang Su-in adding 14 for a combined 37 points, the national team defeated the Dominican Republic 3 to 1 to cruise to their fourth straight win in the group stage.

Firmly maintaining first place in Group D, the national team will play its final group stage match against Algeria tomorrow (August 12).
