Israel Women's D1 18/2008 - Maccabi Ashdod 102, Maccabi Ramat Hen 89

Supposedly, yesterday was the final day of the Israel Women's D1 Regular season.

Six teams go to the playoffs. The playoffs start March 5th with a post-season round robin. I don't know if the round robin is used to determine which teams are the finalists, or if the round robin is used by itself to determine a champion.

The upcoming round-robin games for Maccabi Ramat Hen this week:

Thursday: Home vs. Maccabi Ashdod
Sunday: Away vs. Electra Ramat Hasharon
