In the All-Star Game, which was played over just two periods, Team Vendramini led most of the time (17-15 in the first half) and was six points clear with just under a minute and a half to go, but Lays and Aline Moura converted two straight threes, leaving everything equal at 31 points. In extra time, which had the special rule, pivot Aline Moura’s decisive free throw gave Team Arilza the title.
The MVP award (most valuable player) of the match went to Lays, point guard for Santo André, the main scorer of the champion team in the decision, with 11 points.
