Here is the last round review presented by LBM Management.

The most important game of round 7 took place in between two undefeated teams where APR edged REG (6-1) 77-75 on Friday night. It ended at the same time the six-game winning streak of REG. It was a key game for the top position in the league. They outrebounded REG 62-48 including 28 on the offensive glass. It was a great evening for the former international center Assouma Uwizeye (182-1996) who led her team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 20 points and 21 rebounds. The former international center Charlotte Umugwaneza (195-1984) helped adding 11 points, 19 rebounds and 5 assists. At the losing side the former international point guard Odile Tetero (162-1998) responded with 21 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. REG's coach rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Undefeated APR (6-0) have an impressive series of six victories in a row. Defending champion (6-0) keeps a position of league leader. REG at the other side dropped to the second place with one game lost. They were replaced at the leadership position by APR. REG will play next round against strong Kepler trying to make it back to the top of the standings. APR will try to continue on its current victory against fifth ranked RP-IPRC Huye on the road.
