Ecuadorian Liga Femenina round 2 best performance: Edith Noblecilla (by Hoops Agents)

Edith Noblecilla

Former international Point guard Edith Noblecilla (168-PG-90) put on an amazing game in the last round for top-ranked Bocca, receiving a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 2.
The 31-year old player was the main contributor (9 points, nine rebounds and five assists) to her team's victory, helping them to beat Punto R. (#3, 1-1) 60-48. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. It allowed Bocca to consolidate first place in the Ecuadorian Liga Femenina. But it's just the very beginning of the season and Bocca won both games without losing any. It's too early to say anything as the standings can be changed completely after next round. It was one of impressive evenings for Noblecilla as usually she does not deliver so high stats. Former Bishop's University star has very solid stats this year. Noblecilla is in league's top in assists (6th best: 3.0apg) and averages impressive 5.5spg and 61.5% FGP.

The second best player in last round's games was 15-year old Emily Gonzalez (F-06) of Viejo W.. Gonzalez had a very good evening with a double-double of 21 points and 13 rebounds. Bad luck as Viejo W. lost that game 61-73 to Fuerza M. (1-1). 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. Gonzalez is a newcomer at Viejo W., but is already one of team's top players. She belongs to the best scorers in the league with 20.0ppg (#1). She also registered 15.0 boards per game.

Third on the list of top players last round was another Bocca's star - former international Dayanna Salcedo (176-C/F-89). Salcedo scored 18 points and grabbed eleven rebounds (!!!). She was another key player of Bocca, helping her team with a 60-48 win against #3 ranked Punto R. in a game of the week. Bocca 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. Salcedo also has a very good start of the season with very strong stats. Salcedo has a great season in Ecuador. After only 2 games, she made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 13.5ppg (3rd best) and rebounds with 9.5rpg (5th best).
