Hi One, Harim claim full-set victories
Huons, the Round 2 champions of the PBA Team League, extended their winning streak to three matches with a victory over Hana Card.
On the fourth day of the Welcome Savings Bank PBA Team League Pohang Tour 2026-2027, held Sunday at the indoor gymnasium of Pohang General Sports Park in Pohang, North Gyeongsang Province, Huons defeated Hana Card 4-0 on sets. The result lifted Huons to third place with a 3-1 record (9 points), level with Hana Card on wins and losses but ahead on set differential — Huons posted a ratio of 1.857 against Hana Card's 1.500.
Already leading 2-0 in sets, Huons sealed the match in the third set as Choi Sung-won defeated Choklu with a high run of 11 points in the third inning, winning 15-7. In the fourth set, the Morales-Kim Ye-eun pairing beat Shin Jeong-ju and Han Seul-gi 9-5 in six innings to complete the sweep.
Huons had seen their 10-match winning streak snapped by NH NongHyup Card in their first match of Round 3, but have since reeled off three straight wins to re-enter the upper-tier race. Hana Card, meanwhile, suffered their first defeat of Round 3 after arriving on a three-match winning streak of their own.
Hi One Resort and Harim each won 4-3 on sets — Hi One over the Breakers and Harim over Woori Financial Group — to run their winning streaks to four matches. Both teams share a 4-0 record with 11 points and identical set differentials of 2.667, but Hi One Resort leads the standings by a point-differential ratio of 1.293.
Crown Haitai defeated SY 4-1 on sets, powered by two wins from Kim Im-kwon, to extend their winning streak to two. NH NongHyup Card ended a two-match losing streak by beating Welcome Savings Bank in a full-set thriller.
