In the third and last day of the Junior League group phase, Montichiari grabbed the last semi final spot. Trento was in the race too but had the difficult task to meet the holders Treviso. Nevertheless it won the first two sets and even had a match point in the third at 25-24. It fail to convert it and from then on it went all pear-shaped. Meanwhile, Montichiari did the job by beating Vibo Valentia.
In group F, the big game for first place ended with Cuneo sweeping Macerata. Cuneo will face Montichiari in the semi finals. In the last encounter Brugherio had the better of a tired-loking Modena, who had played two tie-breaks so far.
