The final day of play started with Ifunaya Okoro having a big game for MFM Queens to help them avoid last place with a 71-59 win even though Djefarima Diawara and Mariama Kouyate finished strong tournaments for Energie.  The fifth place game was close, but INSS emerged with a 54-49 win over Force Armee et Police.  Hosts Al Ahly did not reach the heights they wanted, but Kelsey Mitchell helped send the home fans happy in Cairo with a medal after an 88-65 win over Shawnta Dyer and their Alexandria rivals Sporting before the finale on Saturday.  That final more than lived up to the hype with a rematch of last year’s championship game.  Italee Lucas, this time flanked by Robyn Parks, was ready to get Inter the win and some revenge, but Ferroviario came back to force overtime.  The trio of Sarah Ogoke, who played every second of the game, Odelia Mafanela, and Ingvild Mucauro got the champions the lead and they held on a for a 91-90 win to keep the trophy for another year.
