In the secondary division, the USC girls also showed how serious they were of clinching the secondary title after increasing their win to three.

 USJ-R, on the other hand, finally barged into the win column after three games via a convincing 7-0 blanking of the Sisters of Mary School (SMS) Girlstown.

They then made it two wins in-a-row by routing SWU-Phinma, 6-0.
