Italy: Lube win again, but Consar Ravenna take two sets

Lube Civitanova wins the postponement of Round 7, as expected, but after a battle lasting 5 sets, in which Ravenna has been able to comeback after two sets down to the Italian and European champions, and to play the tie-break point by point. Great match then for the hosts, who put the guests in difficulty especially at the service (15 total ace), led by the MVP Vernon-Evans, author of 23 points. Lube, who had only lost two sets so far, took home the eighth victory in as many games but with great difficulty.
