It's still too early stage of the Regular Season in Serie A1, but even now we can clearly see the difference between stronger teams and outsiders. Here is the last round review presented by LBM Management.

The biggest surprise of round 3 in Serie A1 took place in Schio where host Schio (3-0) crushed Campobasso (2-1) 91-67 on Sunday evening. Schio dominated down low during the game scoring 50 of its points in the paint compared to Campobasso's 28. They outrebounded Campobasso 40-20 including a 29-16 advantage in defensive rebounds. Schio looked well-organized offensively handing out 25 assists. The best player for the winners was Spanish forward Maria Conde (185-1997, college: FSU) who scored 21 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. International point guard Costanza Verona (170-1999) chipped in 13 points. Schio's coach Georgios Dikaioulakos felt very confident using 11 players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. At the other side the best for losing team was the former international power forward Sara Madera (190-2000) who recorded 10 points and 6 rebounds. Campobasso will play next round against Scrivia trying to make it back to the top of the standings. Schio will try to continue on its current victory against Broni on the road.
Scrivia (2-1) recorded a loss at the home court. Hosts were defeated by Broni (1-2) 66-60. It was a good game for point guard Anna Togliani (171-1998) who led her team to a victory with 13 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Amaya Battle contributed with 16 points for the winners. American guard Cornelia Fondren (173-1993, college: Syracuse) answered with 9 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 7 steals for Scrivia. Scrivia's coach Orazio Cutugno rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Broni will play against Schio at home in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Scrivia will play against Campobasso and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
The game in San Martino di L supposed to be also quite interesting. Venezia (3-0) played at the court of San Martino (1-2). Venezia smashed San Martino 75-46 on Sunday. It was a great evening for Alyssa Ustby who led her team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 17 points and 14 rebounds. The best for the losing side was Jenna Guyer with 11 points and 5 rebounds. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Venezia will meet at home Costa Masnaga (#12) in the next round which should be another easy win for them. San Martino will play against Brescia (#11) and hope to win that game.

Other games of round 3 were quite predictable and ended without any surprises. Here they are:
