Games were on Sunday as usual and Vigarano beat Kristen Simon and Battipaglia 74-67.  Ragusa beat Lucca 74-61.  With Napoli being stricken from the record, it is still not clear how the bottom of the standings will work, but Empoli sits there after falling to Broni 75-50.  Adrienne Webb and San Martino di Lupari beat Brooque Williams and Sesto San Giovanni 65-55.  The day ended with the big game between the top two teams and Sandrine Gruda and Schio showed that they should still be considered favorites after an 81-74 win over Venezia.
