Lavarini starts with Orro, Cazaute, Sylla, Daalderop, Heyrman, Danesi and Fukudome. The first set slips quickly in the hands of the Milanese thanks to a great start of the match by captain Orro (2 aces in the first set) who finds in Cazaute, Sylla and Heyrman heavy points to close the contest. In the next two sets Novara raised the level of exchanges and first evened the score with a hard-fought 25-23, then took the lead thanks to an inspired Ishikawa, top scorer of the match with 18 points. In the last fraction, coach Lavarini shuffles his cards but is unable to trouble the hosts, who close the match and win the Memorial 3-1.
