EV BOMO Thun marked the clearest victory of them all, defeating still winless SC Weinfelden at home with 9-2. Those nine goals were scored by six players, while Frech forward Lara Escudero put up a natural hat trick. The club's latest signing, Canadian forward Stefanie Pohlod, made her debut for BOMO in this game.

HC Lugano only scored one goal less against fourth-ranked SC Reinach. Romy Eggimann had an outstanding performance, putting up five goals in the 8-2 win.
