Northern Mariana Islands - Australia 24:97
Australia celebrated the fourth consecutive win at the Oceania championship in Saipan. They held off Northern Mariana Islands on the last day of the preliminary round. Australia advanced into the semifinals from the top spot and would now face Guam. Northern Mariana Islands had their backs against wall with no wins before the game.

Australia maintained the lead and though Northern Mariana Islands played it safe committing not that many turnovers they could not threaten the margin. Australia stretched the gap to as many as 37 points at halftime. The offensive struggled persisted for the hosts in the second half. They accounted for only 12 points in the next two frames allowing Australia to coast to the win. Hope Terdich (192-F-86) and Rebecca Cole came up with 16 points apiece for Australia.
