One set per part at the start of the match with Milano that, from second set, changed their tactical set-up with an outside hitter in place of the opposite, Patry, who recovered from the injury. Then in the third set the home team prevailed, able to play with a reception at a very high level that allowed home setter Saitta to play better with all his teammates. The fourth set is a monologue of the winners, who consolidate the 4th place in the standings. De Falco was the absolute top scorer of the match with 23 points, while Urnaut made 14 for Milano.
