A pair of games were made up on Wednesday before this round was played on Saturday.  Jessica Shepard led Sassari past Campobasso 76-62 in a Round 17 game.  Rosa Cupido helped Faenza edge Broni 68-63 in a Round 16 game.  The games in this round that were scheduled for Saturday were all played.  The Maggie Lucas-Jessica Shepard combination was not enough for Sassari this time as Bologna won 95-91 in their first game in nearly a month.  It was an easy 87-57 win for Venezia over Faenza.  It had also been a long layoff for Ragusa and they hoped that it would mean a full strength roster when they returned to action, but that was not the case in a tough 77-41 loss to Schio.  Nina Premasunac and Campobasso defeated Broni 78-52 among the late games.  Blake Dietrick and Lucca controlled the second half in a 78-76 win over Amalia Rembiszewska and Empoli.  There was overtime to end the day as San Martino di Lupari eventually overcame Sesto San Giovanni 69-61.

A makeup game was supposed to be played midweek, but there was another postponement.  This round started on Friday with Shae Kelley leading San Martino di Lupari past Moncalieri 71-55.  On Saturday, it took overtime for Costa Masnaga to get past Faenza 74-72.  It was not as close in the other game as Schio won 82-48 over Broni.  Two games in this round could not be played, but there were still two Sunday games.  Aliyah Jeune had a good game for Empoli, but Jazmon Gwathmey and Sesto San Giovanni won 79-66.

With so many games being called off in recent weeks, both teams were happy to be able to fit in their Round 15 game on short notice Wednesday and Diamond DeShields helped Schio roll past Moncalieri 82-50.  Only two games in this round could be played on Sunday.  Laura Spreafico paced Costa Masnaga in a second half comeback for a 76-74 win over Bashaara Graves and Sesto San Giovanni.  Lucca beat Broni 60-51 in the other game.

Amid a large number of postponements, a game from Round 11 was made up on Wednesday with Awak Kuier leading Ragusa past Moncalieri 76-54.  Not all of the teams are ready to play, but a pair of games were contested on Saturday.  Maggie Lucas and Jessica Shepard led Sassari as usual, this time past Aliyah Jeune and Empoli 103-64.  Ivana Raca and Sesto San Giovanni nearly managed to spring a late surprise on Schio, but fell short 76-72.  On Sunday, Asia Taylor led Ragusa past Costa Masnaga 80-62.  Lucca ended the day with a 77-58 win over Moncalieri.

Games were slowly postponed again in the lead-up to this round, leaving two games played on Sunday.  Ivana Dojkic led Bologna past Aliyah Jeune and Empoli 76-67 in the first game.  Lucca had the better first half, but Venezia controlled the rest of the game for a 71-60 win.

It was already known that a full midweek round could not be played, but games continued to be postponed for virus reasons until only one game could be played on Wednesday.  Ragusa used a strong second half to defeat Sesto San Giovanni 66-53.  Sunday will not be a full round, but it remains to be seen how many games can go on as scheduled.

This round was supposed to start with a game on Thursday, but San Martino di Lupari had multiple virus cases and declined to have the players that tested negative make the trip to Campobasso for precautionary reasons, providing the first conflict in how this situation should be handled in accordance with league rules for postponement.  Virus issues claimed more games, including Saturday’s game between Sassari and Sesto San Giovanni.  Three more games were claimed on Sunday, leaving only two that were actually played as scheduled.  Laura Spreafico led Costa Masnaga past Virginia Galbiati and Broni 68-61.  Kayla Thornton paced Venezia in a 66-58 win over Moncalieri.

The round wrapped around the holiday depending on continental play and the first game was Wednesday with Maria Miccoli and Lucca having the strong second half for a 72-67 win over Awak Kuier and Ragusa.  There was already concern about being able to play on Thursday with Venezia, but their opponent Empoli had virus cases that postponed that game and Sesto San Giovanni’s test results also prevented them from being able to play Campobasso.  One of the games scheduled for Sunday could not be played, but Shae Kelley did lead San Martino di Lupari past Faenza 64-54.  Both games scheduled for Monday were played, starting with Brianna Turner leading Bologna past Costa Masnaga 76-56.  Jasmine Keys was impressive for Schio in their 85-69 win over Sassari, which was led by Maggie Lucas and Jessica Shepard again.

The round started on Friday with Zada Williams having a good game for Empoli, but Costa Masnaga left with a 74-59 win.  Virus test results meant that only two of the four games scheduled for Saturday could be played.  It was the same story for Sassari with Jessica Shepard and Maggie Lucas taking control and they won 95-80 over Nina Dedic, Tijana Krivacevic, and Broni.  Ivana Raca and Sesto San Giovanni forced overtime and with Bologna’s star being completely out of rhythm, prevailed 60-53.  On Sunday, Blake Dietrick and Sydney Wiese led Lucca past San Martino di Lupari 85-73.  Campobasso built a big lead on Faenza and coasted to a 72-62 win.
