Upper Group:

The round started on Monday with Adut Bulgak and Ramat Hasharon beating Herzliya 72-54.  Alex Bentley helped Elitzur Holon keep Tiffany Mitchell and Elitzur Ramla from thinking that they would keep a big gap between them and the rest of the teams with a 66-64 win.  A rare Tuesday game saw Danielle Adams lead Maccabi Ashdod to a 79-72 win over Hapoel Petah Tikva as their hopes of climbing to the top seed remain.

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.
