Chung-Ang University Advances to Finals

" Blue Dragon Squad" Chung-Ang University is headed back to the final round match three years after defeating Konkuk University.

In the 2004 Industrial Bank Basketball Feast semifinal match held in Jamsil Gymnasium on December 16, Chung-Ang University ran over Konkuk University 72-63 with the help of college choice Hahm Ji-hoon (13 points, 14 rebounds) and Kang Byung-hyun (16 points).

In particular, Kang Byung-hyun, who is a guard from Busan Chung-Ang High School, was perfect in all three of his three-point attempts and led the offense while outscoring all the players.

Chung-Ang University, which lost to Sangmoo in the finals of 2001, has its first chance in four years since the championship in 2000 when pro basketball TG Sambo player Kim Joo-seong joined the bandwagon.

In the semifinals for the women`s division, the defending champion, Kimcheon City Hall, defeated Sungshin Women`s University 94-81 with the assistance of Jun Ji-hye`s (23 points) outside jumpers. Kimcheon City Hall faces Suwon University, which beat Yongin University 84-71, for the championship glory.
