Me too I wasn't aware of , for example, a 25-18 set who was 87 minutes long!! Or, just to say, another match where 39!! overall stuff blocks were scored!

But it could be urban legend:(
Here are the stats of the game:

BTW, I also remember a very long set (i guess it ended smth like 42-40) in the first match of the final of 2011 Challenge Cup, Lube Banca Marche Macerata-Arkas Izmir
What a competition
This means that they have played 3 sets and a half

04/02/02 Modena d. Perugia (women) : 25-20, 25-22, 25-27, 48-46
11/06/17 World League, Qatar d. Venezuela : 27-29, 25-16, 45-43, 25-13
14/05/03 Lamezia d. Cagliari (2nd division) : 48-46, 25-18, 23-25, 28-26

22/12/06 Novara d. Perugia (Supercup, women) : 25-12, 25-21, 45-43
That's all I have for teams who reached at least 45 points. For some of them I don't have the precise date and the exact score. I'm pretty disappointed that I found nothing on the 87-85 and 63-61 that you listed, I'm not sure those scores really happened.
Yesterday in Turkish League :
Arhavi Spor Kulübü 25-20, 25-18, 41-43, 25-23 Inegol Belediyesi
Today in German League.
AlpenVolleys 25-21, 24-26, 50-48, 25-22 Luneburg
@PhilipFreere By the way the German federation confirmed that it is a record for the championship, so the unknown 63-61 in this article can be removed, it is fake.
@Sherlock @PhilipFreere thank you guys. Table have been updated.
Today in PlusLiga :
Czarni Radom 25-23, 44-42, 22-25, 25-21 Slepsk Malow Suwalki
Tauron Liga on Saturday : Legionowo 18-25, 25-18, 46-44, 22-25, 15-13 Bydgoszcz
Turkish 1st League - Final Round (30.03.2022)
Akkuş Belediyespor vs. Hekimoğlu GCT Bursa: 26-28, 25-23, 25-21, 21-25, 42-40!
Also Akkuş Belediyespor won the next match against Hatayspor with another marathon 5th set, 33-31. Despite these two back-to-back hard-fought victories in just 24 hours, they failed to qualify to the top division.
@pedeshtrian Yep, I watched that first match with a 42-40 ending. Unreal.
German Bundesliga 2. South - 12.02.2022
TuS Kriftel - 23:25, 25:23, 25:23, 38:40, 11:15 - FT 1844 Freiburg
The match took 138 minutes to be finished!
