Rebecca Lashem (USA), a former player with IBK Industrial Bank, will take the court again in the short-term U.S. league, the Athletics Unlimited Volleyball (AU).
"I've got a big smile here in Arizona," Lassem said on his SNS account. "I'm grateful to be playing in the U.S. again." Kim Yeon-koung (Hungkuk Life Insurance) also stopped by and left a short message of support.
The AU League is an event-based women's sports league that is independently operated by players and is operated in a unique way, such as forming a new team every week and selecting captains on a bi-topic basis. It began operating in 2021, and until new volleyball professional leagues such as PVF and LOVB were created, British and American volleyball players such as Jordan Larson, Willow Johnson, and Shaila Castro were active in the league.
In the 24-25 season, Brittney Abercrombie, a former Industrial Bank of Korea, Catbell, who made a great contribution to bringing the Korea Expressway Corporation to the championship in the 22-23 season, Sheridan Atkinson, who also played in the Korea Expressway Corporation, Jia, who played in the previous season's articles of association, and Willow Johnson, a former replacement soldier of Heungkuk Life, were listed in the league.
Lassem, whose grandmother is a Korean-American immigrant, joined the IBK as sixth place in the tryout for the 21st-22nd season. However, the team did not show much performance compared to foreigners. Worse yet, controversy arose over Cho's unauthorized departure from the team in the middle of the season, and eventually, the team was replaced by Dalí Santana of the U.S. in order to boost the team's power and change the mood.
At that time, Lassem reported that his team was released from the scene due to internal strife. However, he did his best and left the game, which caused many fans to feel sorry for him.
During the 21-22 season, Lassem played in 47 sets in 14 matches, scored 199 points, and recorded a 34.82 percent attack success rate. He reapplied for the tryout of the V-League but was not selected. After failing to continue his career in Korea, he moved to the Greek league and played for ASP Tetis and AO Markopolo.
Since then, there has been no news of a new team contract until just before the 24-25 season, and in June, he has been supporting as a short-term coach at the volleyball academy of Nemac Martin, who was a coach and player at the Industrial Bank of Korea. 스포츠토토
