Giving the ladies their 19th straight win at nationals. The lady bulldogs would take on the San Francisco Iron Maidens and go into the half time break with an 8-point lead. With a close game luckily the lady bulldogs having some of the best players in the country at their disposal would finish the game winning 15-4. Twannia Clark, who would be named Best and Fairest, would be her normal speedy self, knifing through the West Coast defense. The lady bulldogs would win their 21st straight game and add another ring to their collective thumbs, taking their 5th consecutive title home.
