The other American import guard Kaye Clark (170-2000, college: ODU) contributed with 14 points and 6 rebounds for the winners.

An interesting game was also home defeat of 5th ranked Puente Alto in a game in Santiago versus Gimnastico (#4) 74-72. The winners were led by Roxane Makolo who scored that evening 30 points and 21 rebounds. Even a double-double of 28 points and 10 rebounds by Mabel Martinez did not help to save the game for Puente Alto. Puente Alto's coach rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help.
