South Korea decimates Uzbekistan to open U23 Asian Volley campaign

Starting off its campaign on a positive note, South Korea ripped apart Uzbekistan, 25-17, 25-8, 25-7, in their Group D preliminaries in the 2015 Asian U23 Women’s Volleyball Championship Saturday afternoon at Philsports Arena.

Uzbekistan was reeling from the relentless attack of Korea when its team captain Holidahon Holmurodova served straight to the net that awarded South Korea the victory.

South Korea exploited the hapless floor defense of Uzbekistan with tremendous crosscourt kills.

Uzbekistan never found its rhythm offensively and defensively as South Korea started the fourth set on a 10-0 run.

Lee Soyoung and Go Yerim had 18 points apiece for South Korea while Kim Miyoun added 10.

No player from Uzbekistan had a double-digit score with Saida Allamova the high-point woman with six.

South Korea now just needs another win to advance to the next round.
