On Wednesday, Canberra was trying to win a second straight championship at home while Southside was trying to force a deciding game at their court.  Bec Cole led the visitors again as they built a lead into halftime, but the hosts came out of the gates strong in the second half and then managed to hang on in the fourth quarter to win 71-68.  After a game in which the champions leaned on their starters, Olivia Epoupa was named Finals MVP.  After a strong first regular season under the Southside name, the Flyers could not avoid a disappointing end.
