Their next game ended in a 42-54 point loss to competition leaders the MineCraft Comets who managed a huge third quarter to recover from a strong first half by the Stars.

Game three was another victory, this time over the Flames. Captain Amber Merritt once again led the way with a triple double consisting of 42 points, 19 rebounds and 12 assists.
