International Swingman Marcela Viscarra (169-F/G-1990) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Univ. San Simon, receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 3.
The 33-year old player had a double-double of 16 points and 23 rebounds, while her team outclassed Uriona (#3, 2-1) with 47-point margin 100-53. Univ. San Simon is placed at 5th position in Bolivian Libobasquet. Univ. San Simon is a typical solid league team placed somewhere in the middle or a little bit lower in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 1-1 record. In the team's last game Viscarra had a remarkable 55.6% from 2-point range. She has many years of experience at Univ. San Simon, through which she has constantly improved. Marcela Viscarra has solid league stats. She leads league in rebounds with 19.0rpg. Viscarra is in league's top in assists (2nd best: 6.5apg) and averages impressive 3.0bpg and 52.6% FGP.

The second best player in last round's games was Liset Castillo of Potosi Mun.. Castillo had a very good evening with a double-double of 27 points and 15 rebounds. Bad luck as Potosi Mun. lost that game 72-77 to Bolmar (1-2). The season is still at the very beginning and this lost game may not be such crucial, of course if they start win the games. Let's wait for the next round. Castillo is a newcomer at Potosi Mun., but is already one of team's top players. She belongs to the best scorers in the league with 27.0ppg (#2). She also registered 15.0 boards per game.

Third on the list of top players last round was international guard Nicole Rojas (166-G-1994) of league's second-best Carl A-Z. Rojas showcased her all-around game by recording 14 points, ten rebounds and ten assists (!!!) in the last round. She was a key player of Carl A-Z, leading her team to a 104-40 easy win against Orca (#7, 0-1). Carl A-Z has a very good start of the season. But there were just 2 games played, so it's too early to judge them at this stage. Rojas also has a very good start of the season with very strong stats. Rojas has a great season in Bolivia. After only 2 games, she made it on the list of the league's leaders in rebounds with 10.0rpg (9th best) and assists with 8.0apg (best passer).
