The third match day of the second round is expected to have an important impact on the players’ condition and teamwork, along with the difference in the skills of each team. Each team will play a fierce game toward its target ranking.
The third match day of the women’s second round of the 2025 Shinhan SOL Pay 24-25 Handball H League will be held at Gwangmyeong Civic Gymnasium in Gwangmyeong-si, Gyeonggi-do on the 12th and 13th.
In particular, the game between the leading SK Sugar Gliders, who are aiming for 10 consecutive wins, and the third-place Gyeongnam Development Corporation is expected to be a big match. I wonder if the Gyeongnam Development Corporation will be able to beat the leading SK Sugar Gliders, who built Cheolwoongseong.
[18:00 on the 12th] SK Sugar Gliders vs Gyeongnam Development Corporation
At 6 p.m. on the 12th, the match between the first-place SK Sugar Gliders (9 wins, 18 points) and the third-place Gyeongnam Development Corporation (6 wins, 3 losses, 12 points) will be held. In the first round, the SK Sugar Gliders won by one goal.
Currently, the SK Sugar Gliders have won nine consecutive games and boast strong offense with an average score of 29 points. However, Kang Eun-hye’s recent injury has also caused difficulties in attack. Nevertheless, the SK Sugar Gliders won, conceding only 18 goals with a solid defense.
On the other hand, despite Lee Yeon-kyung’s recent injury, Gyeongnam Development Corporation has shown its growth by overcoming the crisis with the performances of young players such as Kim Yeon-woo and Lee Yeon-song. However, in the game against Gwangju City Corporation, it was difficult due to lack of points. Attention is focusing on how the young players of the Gyeongnam Development Corporation will perform in this game.
[20:00 on the 12th] Seoul City Hall vs Daegu City Hall.
At 8 p.m. on the 12th, a match between the fourth-place Seoul City Hall (4 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, 10 points), and the seventh-place Daegu Metropolitan City Hall (1 wins, 8 losses, 2 points) will be held.
Seoul City Hall finished second with a blast in the first round, but fell to fourth place with an up-and-down performance in the second round. Although Ubitna’s injury absence and poor scoring were disappointing, he showed strong defense in the recent game against the SK Sugar Gliders.
Daegu Metropolitan City Hall continues its losing streak again after winning its first victory. In particular, there was a problem with the shot success rate, and even Jeong Ji-in, who is considered a candidate for the Rookie of the Year, made a lot of shoot misses. In this game, it is important to improve the goal-making ability of Daegu Metropolitan City Hall.
[18:00 on the 13th] Incheon Metropolitan City Hall vs Busan Facilities Management Corporation
At 6 p.m. on the 13th, 8th-ranked Incheon Metropolitan City Hall (1-8, 2 points) and 5th-ranked Busan Facilities Corporation (5-4, 10 points) will face off. In the first round, the Busan Facilities Corporation won a big victory.
Incheon Metropolitan City Hall has recently been struggling with poor scoring and defense. While Lee Hyo-jin’s injury gap played a major role, Incheon has also recently highlighted the performance of young players.
The Busan Facilities Corporation has recently won three consecutive games and has been on the rise. Goalkeeper Kim Soo-yeon’s good defense and Kim Da-young and Lee Hye-won’s performances stand out, and teamwork is gradually strengthening. Mistakes and exits are a problem, but if they overcome them, they will be able to play more stable games.
[20:00 on the 13th] Gwangju City Corporation vs Samcheok City Hall.
At 8 p.m. on the 13th, a match between sixth-ranked Gwangju City Corporation (2 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses, 5 points) and second-ranked Samcheok City Hall (6 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, 13 points) will be held. In the first round, Samcheok City Hall won 29-26.
Gwangju Metropolitan City Corporation has often missed games by mistake recently, and has difficulty balancing scores and runs. There are major scoring sources such as Kim Ji-hyun and Seo A-ru, but they showed frustration at a decisive moment.
Samcheok City Hall started the second round in a good mood with two consecutive wins. However, Kim Min-seo’s recent injury has shaken the organization. Whether Kim Min-seo, the center of the team, will play and his organizational power are expected to act as big variables.
