Nunawading proceeded to dominate the game with Kilsyth only managing to shoot three and four baskets from the field in the second and third quarters respectively. Kilsyth seemed unable to have the answer to ex-Cobra Alice Kunek (27pts) who dominated play.

The Swinburne Lady Cobras staged a fight back in the last however it was a case of too little too late, with 36 seconds remaining on the clock Kilsyth trailed by just three points however the Lady Spectres were not going to let the game slip shooting truly from the foul line to close the game out, winning 61-55.

Chantella Perera was the Swinburne Lady Cobras best with 23 points, seven rebounds and three assists, Hayley Moffatt (14pts) was the only other player to reach double figures.
