Manuele Lucconi, the player of the Italian men’s Division 3 side Sistemia LCT Aci Castello, set the new country’s record for points in a single match.
With 48 points scored last night in the Serie A3 encounter, which his team Sistemia LCT Aci Castello lost to OmiFer Palmi in the tie break, Lucconi broke the record for points in a single match in competitions under the Italian Volleyball League (Lega Pallavolo Serie A). The 22-year-old opposite hitter moved ahead of Diego Cantagalli, who topped the list with 46 points, a year ago.
At the same time, Lucconi put his name on the world all-time list of best scorers in a single volleyball match, sharing No.10.
