The last game of the season was in Ashdod on Monday and Allison Hightower and the hosts looked to be in good position to win the championship after the first half.  In a series lacking road wins, it was the two players who had helped keep Elitzur Ramla stable through roster moves all season long in Emma Cannon and Alyssa Baron who helped them have a strong second half and grab the championship with a 77-73 win.
