With only eight teams this season, the league opted to play another round robin for this stage instead of splitting the teams into two groups. Maccabi Ramat Hen shows no signs of slowing down after eventually establishing complete control of ASA Jerusalem as Rebekkah Gardner led them to the 83-49 win. Bnot Hertzeliya also continued winning as Keisha Hampton and their usual leading cast beat Elitzur Holon 78-69 after managing to at least slow down Jamierra Faulkner a bit. In a game in which both teams only used two of the three allotted foreigner slots, Maccabi Ashdod continued to show the strength of the domestic contingent that they have assembled in a 90-79 win over Hapoel Rishon Le-Zion. Tia Pressley had the strongest game of her young professional career in leading the way in the win. A strong Ashley Shields performance was not enough for the visitors. The day’s biggest scoring output from Brittany Hrynko was not enough for Hapoel Petah Tikva as Anne Marie Armstrong and Laurin Mincy teamed up to help Ramat Hasharon complete a sweep for the home teams 92-75.
