The game had a very big importance for third-ranked Algodoneras as it allowed them to take a leadership position. Algodoneras defeated 7th ranked Atleticas in Torreon 72-59. It was a key game for the top position in the league.

Even 16 points and 5 rebounds by the former international guard Paola Estrada (172-1993, agency: DC Sports) did not help to save the game for Atleticas. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. As mentioned above they are at the top of the standings, which they share with Lenadoras and Las Plebes.
