They outrebounded Starlites 49-35 including a 40-19 advantage in defensive rebounds. Hibernians players were unselfish on offense dishing 23 assists. Worth to mention a great performance of American forward Mason Hix (203-2000, college: St.Edward's) who helped to win the game recording a triple-double by scoring 31 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists. Serbian-Ukrainian center Ivan Demcesen (216-1991) contributed with a double-double by scoring 32 points and 21 rebounds for the winners.

Four Starlites players scored in double figures. Hibernians have a solid series of three victories in a row. They moved-up to second place. Defending champion Starlites dropped to the fourth position with two games lost. Hibernians will play against bottom-ranked Valletta F. (#7) at home in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game. Starlites will play against Bupa in Pembroke and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
