A 15-point contribution by point guard #6 of Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) failed to inspire her otherwise lacklustre team as they went down 53-69 to Ngee Ann Polytechnic (NP).

In a match that mostly failed to provide much sparkle, Ngee Ann Polytechnic steadily built up their lead from 14-6 in the first quarter to 37-15 at the end of the half.
A full court man-to-man press in the second half by the Nanyang Polytechnic team failed to produce results. Every time NYP threatened with a mini-run, the Ngee Ann girls would repeatedly capitalize on gaping holes in the NYP defence to maintain their lead.
Ngee Ann eventually wrapped up the game 69-53.
