Center Silvia Vega (176-2003) scored 9 points and 14 rebounds to lead the charge for the winners and forward Gabriela Alfaro (167-2004) chipped in 15 points during the contest. Salvadorenas' coach felt very confident using 11 players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Dominican swingman Yenifer Jimenez (163-1999) responded with 14 points and 9 rebounds. Salvadorenas' supporters look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will travel locally in to the arena .
Very significant was Metapan's just 3-point road victory against Santa Ana. Cuban center Rachel Contreras (184-1999) notched a double-double by scoring 29 points and 22 rebounds to lead the effort and Monica Aristondo supported her with 10 points, 13 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 steals. Even a double-double of 32 points and 14 rebounds by Cuban point guard Dairis Tornell (176-1992) did not help to save the game for Santa Ana. Santa Ana's coach rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Metapan will play against Ahuachapan at home in the next round.
