D1 is at the halfway of the Regular Season and there are still another 9 rounds left.

D1 round 9 most important game was a victory of Ramat Hasharon over 3rd placed Galil Elion 75-68 on Thursday night. The guests trailed by 1 point at the halftime before their 36-28 charge in the second half, which allowed them to win the game. Ramat Hasharon made 18-of-22 free shots (81.8 percent) during the game. They also forced 20 Galil Elion turnovers. It was a good game for naturalized American forward Alysha Clark (178-87, college: Middle Tenn.St.) who led her team to a victory with 20 points and 9 rebounds. American point guard Alexis Gray-Lawson (173-87, college: California) contributed with 17 points and 6 rebounds for the winners. American forward Christine Flores (190-90, college: Missouri, agency: Ronsport) answered with a double-double by scoring 12 points and 14 rebounds for Galil Elion. Ramat Hasharon (5-3) moved-up to third place. Galil Elion at the other side dropped to the fourth position with four games lost. They share it with Maccabi R.Hen. Ramat Hasharon are looking forward to face Hap.Petah Tikva (#6) on the road in the next round. Galil Elion will play against Elitzur Holon and is hoping to win this game.
An interesting game for Maccabi Ashdod (8-0) which hosted in Ashdod 4th placed Maccabi Ramat Hen (4-4). Leader Maccabi Ashdod had an easy win 71-54. American players dominated the game. Power forward Danielle Adams (185-89, college: Texas A&M) stepped up and scored 23 points and 6 rebounds for the winners and Ashley Shields chipped in 16 points and 7 rebounds. The best for the losing side was swingman Karima Christmas (182-89, college: Duke) with a double-double by scoring 16 points and 10 rebounds. Undefeated Maccabi Ashdod have an impressive series of seven victories in a row. Defending champion maintains first place with 8-0 record. Maccabi Ramat Hen at the other side keeps the fourth position with four games lost. They share it with Galil Elion. Maccabi Ashdod will play against bottom-ranked Hapoel Rishon Le-Zion (#9) at home in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Maccabi Ramat Hen will have a break next round.
Bottom-ranked Hapoel Rishon Le-Zion managed to get the second consecutive victory on Thursday night. This time they won against sixth-ranked Hap.Petah Tikva 74-57. It's especially surprising that the victory came too easily and 17-point difference suggests that Hapoel Rishon Le-Zion is in a good shape to leave the bottom place. And what about a second win in a row after ...six consecutive loses. American players dominated also this game. Tiffany Hayes nailed 18 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists for the winning side. Rebekah Gardner came up with a double-double by scoring 16 points and 12 rebounds for Hap.Petah Tikva in the defeat. Hapoel Rishon Le-Zion (2-6) moved-up to seventh place, which they share with Elitzur Holon and Elitzur Netanya. Hap.Petah Tikva lost their fourth game in a row. They keep the sixth position with five games lost. Hapoel Rishon Le-Zion will meet league's leader Maccabi Ashdod on the road in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Hap.Petah Tikva will play against Ramat Hasharon (#3) and hope to secure a win.

In the last game of round 9 Elitzur Holon beat Elitzur Netanya on the road 94-87.
The most impressive performance of 9th round was 26 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists and 6 steals by Alexis Hornbuckle of Elitzur Holon.

Elitzur Netanya - Elitzur Holon 87-94

We could consider it a predictable result in the game between close teams when eighth ranked Elitzur Holon (2-6) beat on the road 7th ranked Elitzur Netanya (2-6) 94-87 on Thursday.
