A different Hyundai Capital rides five-game winning streak to mid-table finish
The Hyundai Capital Skywalkers of the men’s professional volleyball league are on a roll.
The Skywalkers are looking forward to ‘spring volleyball’ with back-to-back wins after their head coach Choi Tae-woong was fired for poor performance.
The Skywalkers defeated the Samsung Fire Bluefangs in straight sets, 3-1, at Chungmu Gymnasium in Daejeon on April 7.
It was their first win against Samsung Fire, who they had lost to three times this season, and they moved into fourth place with three points (31 points, 9-9-13).
After languishing in sixth place through three rounds, they are now chasing second-place Samsung Fire and third-place Korean Air Jumbos, both of whom have 38 points.

Since Dec. 24 last year, the team has won five games, including two against the KEPCO Big Storm and sweeping the Woori Card Wooriwon, KB Insurance Stars, and Samsung Fire.
Prior to Jin Soon-ki’s reign, Hyundai Capital’s only wins came against OK Financial Group Eom-man and KB Insurance.
