The last round of this first half of season has revealed the top eight teams and the Italian Cup quarter-finals, to be played on Wednesday 20 January with the top four playing host.
Except for the third place that clearly went to Civita Castellana, all the other positions were decided between 2 or 3 teams in the last instants. At times a win or even the set difference made the difference. This is how Siena moved above Ortona with a set quotient of 1.08 against 1.04, while Cantù was also tied but with one win less.
Sora defeated Vibo, joined them at the top but became winter champ as they collected 11 wins and Vibo 10. Sora will take on Cantù in the cup, while third versus six will put face to face two rookies: Civita Castellana and Siena.
