32-year old shooting guard Monica Aristondo (163-SG-1992) had a very impressive game in the last round for Santa Ana 2nd team and receives a Hoops Agents Liga Mayor Player of the Week award for round 5.
She had the game-high 51 points adding seven rebounds and five assists for Santa Ana 2 in her team's victory, helping them to crush, the league's bottom-ranked team Ahuachapan (#9, 0-6) with 19-point margin 94-75. Santa Ana 2 maintains the 8th position in Salvadorean league. Too late to salvage the team, which is currently ranked such low. They already lost 5 games and recorded just one victory. In the team's last game Aristondo had a remarkable 81.0% from 2-point range. She has many years of experience at Santa Ana 2, through which she has constantly improved. Aristondo has impressive league stats. She is in league's top in points (2nd best: 32.7ppg) and averages solid 7.0spg and 52.7% FGP.

Second best performed player last round was Yayma Boulet (193-C-1984) of league's second-best AD Isidro Metapan. She is Cuban center in her first season at Metapan. In the last game Boulet recorded an impressive double-double of 39 points and 17 rebounds. Of course Metapan cruised to a 90-81 relatively comfortable win over the lower-ranked Salvadorenas 2 (#5, 3-3). Metapan's second position in the standings has not changed. A very good start of the season for her team, which won so far all 5 games without any defeat. Boulet is one of the most experienced players at Metapan and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. She belongs to the best scorers in the league with 33.6ppg (#1). She also registered 16.6 boards per game.

Third place about best performers goes to guard Fatima Aviles (161-PG-1999) of Salvadorenas 2nd team (#5). Aviles showcased her all-around game by recording 29 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists in the last round. Despite Aviles' great performance the Salvadorenas 2 lost 81-90 to the league's current leader Metapan (#2, 5-0). But her team cannot count on just a single shooter as she also needs help of the other teammates. The last thing Salvadorenas 2 needs is to lose another game like this one. They lose more and more distance to the top teams. Their record is 3 victories and 3 lost games. Aviles has a great season in El Salvador. After only 5 games, she made it on the list of the league's leaders in assists with 4.2apg (9th best).
