South Korea's men's volleyball team defeated Bahrain 3-1, overcoming a potentially tricky opponent with its leading attackers setting the pace. Korean reports said Im Dong-hyeok and Heo Soo-bong combined for 31 points.
The win gives Korea a positive result heading deeper into the Asian championship campaign. It also showed the team could spread the scoring load between its leading attackers rather than depending on a single hitter.
