Pepper, led by coach Joe Tringe (37, USA), defeated IBK Industrial Bank with a set score of 0-3 (14-25) in 1 hour and 15 minutes in the 2023-2024 season V-League 5th round away game held at Hwaseong Sports Complex on the 10th. 12-25 19-25) and bowed his head. Park Jeong-ah (31) scored 9 points, the most in the team, and lost following a poor performance. Pepper lost all 5 games once morest IBK Industrial Bank of Korea this season. IBK Industrial Bank of Korea (39 points, 13 wins, 14 losses), which earned 3 points along with 2 consecutive wins, maintained 5th place and narrowed the point gap with 4th place CheongKwanJang (41 points, 13 wins, 14 losses) to ‘2’.
Pepper’s last win was once morest GS Caltex in Seoul on November 10 last year. It was 3 months ago. They are currently ranked 7th 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 with a risk of injury recurrence, with the goal of ‘getting out of last place’ ahead of this season. However, there are no signs of a rebound this season either.
Pepper, who was unable to break the chain of losing streak even on this day, Lunar New Year, was left with the disgrace of breaking the previous women’s record for most losing streak in a single season (20 consecutive losses) 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.
