The original league schedule included the possibility of observing the international break, but that idea was scrapped and four games were scheduled. Alicia Froling and Townsville won at Adelaide 90-63 on Wednesday. On Friday, Miela Sowah and Perth got a 95-77 win over Jaz Shelley and Geelong. On Sunday, Southside defeated Adelaide 84-78 as both teams worked on playing out the string. The other game was the one with implications for the last playoff spot and it was Isabella Brancatisano and Celeste Taylor that helped Sydney that built a lead late for an 86-71 win over Nyadiew Puoch and Canberra.
