The Akademia Città di Messina makes up for the misstep of the tie-break defeat in game 1 by winning game 2 of the semi-final on the Talmassons pitch. It ends 1-3 for the Messina team who lose the first set 25-19, but then, albeit with difficulty, they get back on top and taking advantage of the physical decline of the Friulian team they overturn the score by winning three sets in a row with scores of 23-25, 23- 25, 21-25. Battista takes the lead with 19 points and Payne with 18. Best of the match is Greta Catania, who scored 12 points. Having lost the first set 25-19, the Messina team did well to come back and find the right clarity in the decisive moments.
In the other semi-final Fvg Busto Arsizio resolved game 2 in three sets against Macerata. A very different match from the first leg which the Bustocche had won only in the fifth set. Macerata lost clearly (16-25, 18-25, 10-25)
