The round started with one game on Sunday and Shakira Austin and Elitzur Ramla won 87-75 with Herzliya down an import, although Loryn Goodwin and Breanna Richardson tried to make up for the difference. The first game on Monday saw Amy Okonkwo have success from long range for Maccabi Haifa, but Shatori Walker-Kimbrough and Maccabi Ashdod left with an 84-75 win. Juggling the lineup in each game has not been helpful for Elitzur Holon even with Alex Harden and Courtney Hurt playing well as they lost to Hapoel Rishon Lezion 67-62. Danielle Adams and Taylor Wurtz continued to try to lead shorthanded ASA Jerusalem, but it was not enough as they lost to Maya Caldwell and Maccabi Ramat Gan. The last two winless teams met and Mikayla Cowling and Hapoel Petah Tikva prevailed 66-65 while Jazmine Jones made the case for a bigger role for Ramat Hasharon.
