The Oranges finished the first round with a positive balance: Nes Ziona returned to themselves tonight (Sunday), when they stopped Hapoel Haifa with a 77:86 victory.
After the big run of the five wins, came two fall games of Ness Ziona (two losses by a cumulative difference of 46 points in which she scored 58 points on average).
Tonight the key players of the Oranges have already come back to themselves - 43 points from the pair Garrett-Bartley and 20 points and 8 rebounds from Matt Suarez, who scored only 6 points in the previous two games.

Until the break, the host went up to 8 points and the guest had a hard time getting back close.
Haifa's defense was not at the level of the last few games and the ability to stop the host's running game was limited.
In the bottom line, Ness Ziona regained its composure and stopped the sequence of Hapoel Haifa's three victories.
