Indre Sorokaite was unstoppable in Italy with 29 points, including 4 kill blocks and 4 aces, while Anna Danesi set up 5 kill blocks. Tatiana Iurinskaia scored 16 for Russia who are at 3-9 and 10 points.

At the same time, South Korea lost their eighth successive match in the tournament (1-11; 3 points) and replaced Bulgaria at the bottom of the standings.
