Lower Group:

After the division of the teams the lower group of four teams is playing a double-round robin while the top six teams play each other once so there was an extra round in this group played on Thursday.  Bnei Yehuda is hoping that the games against weaker foes will give them the chance to pick up a win, but that did not happen in a game where both teams were shorthanded as Bria Goss got a triple-double to lead Maccabi Raanana to a 70-58 win.  It was much closer in the other game as Breanna Richardson and Hapoel Ironi Rishon Lezion beat Alexis Jones and Ramat Hasharon 82-79.

All four quarterfinal games were played on Thursday.  Jaime Nared and Allison Hightower helped Elitzur Ramla beat Hapoel Petah Tikva 77-66.  Adut Bulgak led Maccabi Ramat Hen, but it was the domestic players that made the difference for Maccabi Ramat Hen in a 75-70 win as Jordan Hooper and Shae Kelley had big games for Elitzur Holon.  Hapoel Ironi Rishon Lezion edged past May Dayan and Maccabi Raanana.  Ramat Hasharon finally had a full complement of foreigners, but it ended up being Drew Edelman who had the best game for them as they lost to Crystal Bradford, Shavonte Zellous, and Herzliya.

Another full round of games on Monday included an entertaining encounter that saw Allisha Gray lead Elitzur Ramla only to see the league’s best team so far fail to contain Danielle Adams and Victoria Vivians to lose 80-75 to surging Maccabi Ashdod.  In Herzliya, Shavonte Zellous had a successful debut, joining Tamera Young as they beat Kaela Davis and Ramat Hasharon 81-69.  Hapoel Petah Tikva got their entire import trio of Monique Reid, Khadijiah Cave, and Alexis Peterson firing to keep Andrea Riley and Bnei Yehuda winless 103-80.  Elitzur Holon beat Maccabi Ramat Hen 60-57 to create a massive tie among teams in the top half looking to chase down the leaders.  The wide open season so far has teams in the lower half still thinking they could make a move as Maccabi Raanana beat Breanna Richardson and shorthanded Hapoel Ironi Rishon Lezion 71-56.

A makeup game was played on Thursday as Shayla Cooper and Andrea Riley had good games, but being down an import was too much for Yehuda to overcome in their quest for their first win as Jillian Alleyne and Breanna Richardson led Hapoel Ironi Rishon Lezion to a 90-74 win.  All teams were back in action on Monday.  The day started with Kaela Davis leading Ramat Hasharon, but falling 90-78 to Elitzur Ramla, which got its entire import trio of Allisha Gray, Jaime Nared, and Allison Hightower firing.  Hapoel Petah Tikva continues to sit right behind them as Monique Reid and Khadijiah Cave led them past Teanna Muldrow and Maccabi Raanana 81-69.  Maccabi Ashdod continued their push back into the top four as Victoria Vivians and Danielle Adams paced them in a 77-68 win over Crystal Bradford and Herzliya.  Jordan Hooper and Shae Kelley teamed up to lead Elitzur Holon past Jillian Alleyne and Hapoel Ironi Rishon Lezion 70-63.  Adut Bulgak and Maccabi Ramat Hen kept Yehuda winless as another big game from Andrea Riley could not get the shorthanded hosts closer than 75-66.
