The Junior League eight participating teams made their debut on route to the Under 20 title. In group E, there was no surprise as the holders Treviso swept Vibo Valentia 3-0. Ludovico Dolfo shined with 21 points. Montichiari’s 3-1 victory over Trentino was a little bit harder to predict. Indeed, Burattini were the favourite of this encounter according to the ranking of the competition. A huge 21 blocks at the net proved key. Cuneo and Modena plaed a tight one that went all the way to the tie-break. Suspense all along in the tie-break before Cuneo grabbed two match points. However, Modena tied it at 14 and even had two match points before surrendering 20-18. The day closed its curtains on Macerata’s 3-0 win over Brugherio, the only one without a team in the Serie A.
