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.

The finals started on Sunday with Southside hosting the first game.  Bec Cole and company had more rest coming off a sweep without the need for extra travel.  Canberra found themselves trailing heading into the final quarter, but they sprung to life late and then held on in the final minute to escape with an 82-80 win.  They now have the chance to win at home on Wednesday while Southside will suddenly feel the pressure after such a strong season up to this point.
