The round started with the traditional Friday night game in Caceres and Valencia had a short turnaround from their European adventures, but still left with a 57-40 win.  On Saturday, Araski beat fellow Basque Country club Gipuzkoa 62-56.  Tanaya Atkinson and Clarinos continue their strong start to the season with a 61-55 win at Bembibre.  Vanessa Gidden and Leia Dongue had good games for Promete, but did not get enough help as Ensino left with a 60-55 win.  Sunday started with Gernika beating Zamarat 82-56.  Sedis then beat Zaragoza 65-61.  The last game was the one that was the most anticipated as Magali Mendy and Girona may have fully shifted the balance of power in their favor after going to Salamanca and beating Avenida 68-55.
