Messina – The Akademia Città di Messina takes the three points up for grabs with Cremona Esperia (3 to 0) at the PalaRescifina and also the mathematical pass for the play offs. Coach Fabio Bonafede's girls didn't have to push themselves too hard to direct the challenge in their direction, bending the guests' ambitions with changes of pace in the key phases of the sets. In addition to the usual contribution in attack from Payne and Battista, Martinelli put a lot of himself into it with the determination of the captain and a series of blocks at the right moments to crumble the opposition's resistance.
