28-year old Canadian guard Arianna Macias (175-G-1997) put on an amazing game in the last round for league's best team Piratas de Los Lagos and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 7.
She had the game-high 27 points adding seven rebounds and four assists for Piratas in her team's victory, helping them to crush Los Andes SM (#3, 3-4) with 16-point margin 68-52. It allowed Piratas to consolidate first place in the Ecuadorian Liga Femenina. They would have been even better if they did not have these two lost games earlier in Regular Season. Piratas has a very solid 5-2 record, but they cannot be too comfortable about keeping top position. In the team's last game Macias had a remarkable three three-pointers out of 7 attempts. She turned to be Piratas' top player in her first season with the team. Saint Mary's University graduate has very impressive stats this year. Macias is in league's top in points (5th best: 16.7ppg), rebounds (6th best: 10.0rpg), assists (4th best: 3.7apg) and averages solid 1.3bpg and 2.3spg.

Second best performed player last round was Dorian Norris (180-G-2002). She is American guard in her first season at Piratas. In the last game Norris recorded an impressive double-double of 17 points and 10 rebounds. Of course Piratas de Los Lagos cruised to a 66-56 relatively comfortable win over UDJ (#4, 0-6). It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the top position in Zona 1. Piratas consolidated its place in the very top position of the standings. Her team has currently 5-2 record. Norris is a newcomer at Piratas and quickly became one of team's most reliable players.

Third place about best performers goes to Erika Calderon (178-SF-1991) of league's second-best Leopat. Calderon scored 20 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. Despite Calderon's great performance the Leopat lost 85-88 to #1 ranked Ambato S.. But her team cannot count on just a single player as she also needs help of the other teammates especially in such crucial game. The last thing Leopat needs is to lose another game like this one. They lose more and more distance to the top teams in the Zona 2. Their record is 5 victories and 2 lost games. Calderon has a great season in Ecuador. After only 6 games, she made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 14.3ppg (8th best) and assists with 3.5apg (6th best). She also has 2.7spg and and 3PT: 44.4%.
