Swingman Karoline Lundin (175-2004, college: Wyoming) replied with 19 points and 8 rebounds for Herlev.

The best for the losing side was guard Ella Fischer (180-2007) with 12 points and 7 rebounds. Since the result was very predictable, it gave the chance for the coaches to test many bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Undefeated Aabyhoj have an impressive five-game winning streak. They maintain first position with 5-0 record. SISU at the other side still closes the standings with five games lost.
