Maria Carpio claims Ecuadorian Liga Femenina Hoops Agents weekly honour

Maria Carpio

Former international Maria Carpio (178-SF-93) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for league's leader Bocca and that's her to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 3.
The 28-year old had the game-high 13 points adding eight rebounds and five assists for Bocca in her team's victory, helping them to outclass, the league's bottom-ranked team UDJ (#4, 0-2) with 42-point margin 78-36. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. It allowed Bocca to consolidate first place in the Ecuadorian Liga Femenina. They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. The season is still on an early stage, but Bocca already had a very good start winning all 4 without losing a single one. It was one of impressive evenings for Carpio as usually she does not deliver so high stats. Carpio has impressive league stats. She is in league's top in rebounds (6th best: 7.0rpg) and assists (9th best: 2.3apg).

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was 15-year old forward Emily Gonzalez (F-06) of Viejo W.. Gonzalez impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 12 points and 13 rebounds. Bad luck as Viejo W. lost that game 45-66 to Fuerza M. (3-1). 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. 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 14.5ppg (#3). She also registered 14.5 boards per game.

The third best performed player last round was former international Liliana Angulo (183-C/F-90) of second-ranked Fuerza M.. Angulo showcased her all-around game by recording 13 points, five rebounds and six assists in the last round. She was a key player of Fuerza M., leading her team to a 66-45 easy win against Viejo W. (#5, 0-4). Fuerza M. needs these victories very badly if they think about taking over top position in the standings. Their record at this point is 3 victories and 1 lost game. Angulo has a great season in Ecuador. After only 4 games, she made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 11.8ppg (8th best) and assists with 2.8apg (6th best).
