1st Star: Nick Del Bianco - SVG Lüneburg

SVG Lüneburg surprised everyone last year by making it all the way to the Finals in the DVV Cup, and they're on their way back now thanks to Nick Del Bianco (Surrey, BC). The 2015 CIS Player of the Year was a powerhouse in last week's quarterfinal against Mitteldeutschland, scoring 25 points in the 3-1 win including five aces.

While Lüneburg wasn't as successful in league play on the weekend, falling 3-1 to VfB Friedrichshafen, Del Bianco continued to light up the stat sheet, adding 13 points. 

2nd Star: Becky Pavan  - MKS Dabrowa Gornicza

Coming up big this week for Dabrowa Gornicza was Becky Pavan (Kitchener, ON), who led her team to a 3-1 win over Bydgoszcz with 16 points. Having moved to right side, Pavan's strong blocking caused some serious problems, picking up a match high three blocks as well. 

3rd Star: Jamie Thibeault - Unendo Yamamay Buston Arsizio

Busto Arsizio did something they've yet to do this year in Italy's Serie A: win a game on the road. They picked up a 3-1 win in Florence this weekend to improve to .500 and a 4-4 record. Jaimie Thibeault (Sylvan Lake, AB) was solid for Busto, scoring 12 points in the match including three blocks.
