In its 8 years of history in the A1, Vibo Valentia had never finished in fourth place at the halfway point of the season. It all began brilliantly with a big win away from home against the world champions of Trento. Overall, 7 wins and 4 losses. The team has been fantastic on home ground with 5 three-point wins in as many games, 4 times on a 3-0 score. Vibo tallied 20 points all together, just like in its first two seasons in the elite (but with two more games then), but then they were in 8th position.
