International Gabriela Guimaraes (180-C/F-1996) had a great game in the last round for league's second-best Ituano Basquete and that's her to receive a Hoops Agents Paulista Player of the Week award for round 4 (Second Stage).
The 28-year old had a double-double of 29 points and 15 rebounds, while her team beat Campinas (#3, 2-4) 89-81. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. Ituano maintains the 2nd position in Brazilian Paulista. They are still close to the very top. Ituano would have been even better if they kept winning the games like in the last round. They have a solid 4-1 record. It's Guimaraes' second year at Ituano and it's hard to imagine this team without her. Guimaraes has impressive league stats. She is in league's top in points (3rd best: 17.9ppg), rebounds (4th best: 10.6rpg) and averages solid 57.4% FGP.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young forward Milena Rodrigues (174-F-1998) of Corinthians. Rodrigues impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 18 points and 11 rebounds. Of course she led Corinthians to another comfortable win outscoring the bottom-ranked Catanduva (#8, 2-5) 91-61. Despite this victory they still are the league outsider. Her team lost just one game this Second Stage, while they won 6 matches. Rodrigues is a newcomer at Corinthians and it seems she did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders.

The third best performed player last round was another Corinthians' star - Ariadna Felipe (180-G/F-1983). Felipe showcased her all-around game by recording 20 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists in the last round. She was another key player of Corinthians, helping her team with a 91-61 easy win against the bottom-ranked Catanduva (#8, 2-5). Corinthians is closer and closer to top of the standings. They will still need more victories. But 6-1 record is not that bad... Felipe has a very solid season. In 8 games in Brazil she scored 11.8ppg. She also has 6.8rpg and 3.6apg.

4. Vanessa Goncalves (184-F-1994) of Santo Andre - 24 points and 7 rebounds
