The Italian League ended up being surprisingly competitive a season ago and this season is likely to be another good one. The two teams likely to be at the top of the standings opened up the season with the traditional Supercup. Neither team was at full strength, but it was still a great game. Schio was perceived to be the favorite and just edged proceedings 67-66. In a terrific battle in the post, it was Isabelle Yacoubou who was the difference in getting her team the win.
The main league season will start next weekend as all the teams will converge on Lucca to play the first round of games at the same site on Saturday and Sunday.
