Things have fallen into place \u2013 Aleksandar Nikolov took the lead in the scorers' ranking in the Italian SuperLega, even though he has played one match less. The Bulgarian missed one match due to a suspension after accumulating two red cards, but this did not prevent him from returning and taking the lead in the competition.
After today's matches, in which Lube defeated Verona 3:0, and Nikolov scored 20 points (incl. 1 ace and 2 blocks), he is now at the top. At the same time, Milano lost to Modena 0:3, and his main competitor, Ferre Reggers, finished with 13 points, including 1 ace.
Ranking \u2013 Scorers (Italy, Serie A1, 2025/2026 Season)
| Pos. | Player | Position | Team | Matches | Sets | Points | Points/Set | Break point |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Aleksandar Nikolov | Outside Hitter | Cucine Lube Civitanova | 18 | 67 | 378 | 5,64 | 142 |
| 2 | Ferre Reggers | Opposite Hitter | Allianz Milano | 19 | 70 | 373 | 5,33 | 121 |
| 3 | Veljko Masulovic | Opposite Hitter | Sonepar Padova | 19 | 74 | 316 | 4,27 | 89 |
Nikolov's leadership is even more impressive due to the fact that it was achieved with fewer matches played. Nevertheless, he is #1 in total points (378) and has a clear advantage in the break point statistic (142) compared to Reggers (121), which speaks to serious effectiveness in crucial moments.
