On the schedule, this is technically Round 12, but it started with three games on Thursday. Elitzur Holon took the lead heading into the final frame, but Bernice Mosby and Maccabi had the better of the last period for a 78-72 win. Hapoel Petah Tikva had a little bit more depth to draw on and that helped them have the better second half as Kenisha Bell and Khadijiah Cave led them past Alisia Jenkins, Kai James, and Maccabi Ramat Hen 91-81. Ramat Hasharon was down an import so good games from Shatori Walker-Kimbrough and Bridget Carleton were not enough in their 85-78 loss to Emma Cannon, Courtney Williams, and Elitzur Ramla. On Friday afternoon, DiJonai Carrington and Kiara Leslie were back to having their import teammate spot filled, but Elitzur Tel Aviv lost 102-74 to Hapoel Rishon Lezion 102-74 as the visitors were led by Jennie Simms, Kristi Bellock, and Eden Zipel and have strengthened further in their chase for championship. Import shifting was also a part of the other game as Karisma Penn immediately faced her former team in her debut for Herzliya with Victoria Vivians leading Maccabi Ashdod, which was able to field their new player, 74-71.
