Another full round of games was played on Monday, starting with Holon’s work towards breaking the tie at the top of the standings as Shae Kelley and Jordan Hooper helped them win 74-57 at Herzliya.  Brisa Goss had a great game for Maccabi Raanana, but Linnae Harper and Ramat Hasharon left with a 76-72 win as they debuted a new import.  Hapoel Ironi Rishon Lezion was down an import, which hurt as Hapoel Petah Tikva got big games from their trio of Khadijiah Cave, Alexis Peterson, and Monique Reid to win 89-66.  Jennie Simms led Yehuda, but Victoria Vivians and Danielle Adams outscored them on their own and Chelsea Hopkins had her customary triple-double as Maccabi Ashdod kept them winless 94-48.  An unusually low-scoring game saw Elitzur Ramla beat new look Maccabi Ramat Hen 53-47.

The halfway point of the regular season was on Monday as part of the start of another three game week.  DeWanna Bonner and Shandong halted Shanghai’s rise up the standings 75-72.  Morgan Tuck and Beijing showed Shanxi that they might not be ready to compete with the upper group of teams right now with a 75-55 win.  Natalie Achonwa and Jiangsu got a challenge from Liang Jiamei and Liaoning, but won 89-78.  Yelena Leuchanka and Sichuan eased past Tianjin 78-49.  Jessica Breland had a great game and plenty of help from Qiu Siyue in Hebei’s 85-52 win over Fujian.  Heilongjiang edged Shaanxi 71-67 as they are among a group of teams looking to push for playoff spots.  Hubei has played better since Amber Harris has joined, but they still finished the first half without a win as Xinjiang has looked great with Natasha Howard at her best as she got help from Wang Lili in their 87-63 win. Wang Haiwei led Zhejiang, but Guangdong finished a perfect first half by quickly jumping to a lead on their way to an 89-69 win.  Bayi lurks behind them after an 86-70 win over Henan.
