Another full round of games was played on the usual Monday schedule.  Katia Levitsky helped pick up the slack for Maccabi Ramat Hen, which only filled two import spots, but still beat Crystal Bradford and Herzliya 79-65.  Despite a big scoring day from Chelsea Hopkins and a big game for Victoria Vivians, Maccabi Ashdod struggled without their key domestic player and fell 89-83 in overtime to Hapoel Ironi Rishon Lezion, which got more scoring than usual from the combination of Adi Lux and Breanna Richardson.  Loryn Goodwin and Elitzur Holon had a chance to have first place all to themselves, but fell to Maccabi Raanana 70-64.  Kaela Davis was back at full force as Ramat Hasharon beat Alexis Peterson and Hapoel Petah Tikva 76-70.  Allisha Gray and Elitzur Ramla kept Bnei Yehuda winless 82-64.
