The league's list of unbeaten teams is no more as Brent picked up their first L of the season in Ipswich, whilst Loughborough, Bristol and others all picked up valuable results.
We take a look at all of the weekend's games below, with links to live stats and live streams at the bottom of the page.
Ipswich bounced back from last weekend's loss to CoLA to end Brent's unbeaten start to the season, winning 65-57.
The hosts may have feared the worst following a 22-14 Brent opening frame, but dug deep to win each of the following three quarters and claim the win, despite an early fourth-quarter flurry from the Bulls.
Ipswich shared the load on offence with an impressive three players all notching double-doubles. Olivia Forster (22pts, 11reb) led the team's scoring charts as Harriet Welham (17pts, 12reb, 5stl) and Christabel Osarobo (13pts, 14reb) both played well.
Yazmin Edwards (10pts, 9reb) was one rebound shy of joining that list.
Brent were left to wonder what might have been after their bright start, with regular standout Judit Fritz (16pts, 9reb) once again playing well.
Jess Davies (13pts, 14reb) added to her double-double tally for the season, and former Ipswich prospect Saruna Gudza (11pts) was the only other player to reach double digit scoring for Brent.

Bristol Academy Flyers (3-4) added further misery to Reading Rockets (2-4) recent run, enjoying a 71-56 road win to hand the Rockets their fourth loss in a row.
Hannah Wallace (17pts, 5stl) and Mara Marchizotti (17pts, 7reb) provided a one-two punch the hosts couldn't overcome, with a double blow coming as Reading lost American Lindsey Cleary to an eye injury early in the first quarter.
Manchester Mystics (4-3) picked up their fourth win of the season to end the weekend, narrowly beating Barking Abbey (3-4) 68-61.
Twenty eight points from BA's Ruchae Walton wouldn't be enough as Elizandra Costa continued to shine at this level with a team-high 19 points.
