An exciting game between Top Four teams was played in James Craik. Top-ranked Chanares faced their biggest opponent Hindu. Host Chanares (6-0) smashed guests from Chaco (5-2) 77-57.

Guard Paola Alegre (162-2001) produced 13 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists for lost side. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games.
