Naturalized Italian Izabella Sangalli (182-SF-1995) had a very impressive game in the last round for league's leader Unimed Campinas Basquete and that's her to receive a Hoops Agents Paulista Player of the Week award for round 5.
The 29-year old had the game-high 14 points adding nine rebounds and three assists for Campinas in her team's victory, helping them to outclass, the league's bottom-ranked team Pro-Esport S. (#8, 0-3) with 51-point margin 97-46. It allowed Campinas to consolidate first place in the Brazilian Paulista. They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. The season is still on an early stage, but Campinas already had a very good start winning all 5 without losing a single one. Sangalli turned to be Campinas' top player in her first season with the team. Sangalli has impressive league stats. She is in league's top in rebounds (3rd best: 11.2rpg), assists (8th best: 3.8apg) and averages solid 2.6spg.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young forward Amanda De Oliveira (176-F-1993) of BAX Catanduva. De Oliveira impressed basketball fans with 25 points and 6 rebounds. Bad luck as Catanduva lost that game 60-80 to league's leader SESI (#3, 3-0). Catanduva managed to keep the same 6th spot in the standings. 3 lost games are too many comparing to just one victory Catanduva managed to get this year. De Oliveira is a newcomer at Catanduva and it seems she did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders. She belongs to the best scorers in the league with 15.3ppg (#8).

The third best performed player last round was Mariana Tavares (186-C-2000) of Pro-Esport Soracaba (#8). Tavares scored 19 points and grabbed 14 rebounds (!!!). Despite Tavares' great performance the Pro-Esport lost 46-97 to the league's current leader Campinas (#1, 5-0). But her team cannot count on just a single player as she also needs help of the other teammates. Pro-Esport can only dream about fighting for top spots in the league. They have awful season losing so far all 3 games. Tavares has individually a great season in Brazil. After only 3 games, she made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 16.0ppg (6th best) and rebounds with 11.7rpg (2nd best).
