33-year old shooting guard Monica Aristondo (163-SG-1992) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Ahuachapan BC and receives a Hoops Agents Liga Mayor Player of the Week award for round 3.
She had the game-high 41 points adding seven rebounds and two assists for Ahuachapan in her team's victory, helping them to outclass, the league's bottom-ranked team Capitalinas (#6, 0-4) with 41-point margin 82-41. Ahuachapan is placed at 4th position in Salvadorean league. Ahuachapan is rather a weak team placed in lower part in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 1-2 record. In the team's last game Aristondo had a remarkable 70.0% from 2-point range. She turned to be Ahuachapan's top player in her first season with the team. Aristondo has impressive league stats. She is league's best scorer averaging so far 30.0ppg. Aristondo is in league's top in rebounds (3rd best: 11.0rpg) and averages solid 5.3spg and 56.5% FGP.

Second best performed player last round was Anisleidys Martinez (181-SG-1989) of top-ranked San Salvador. She is Cuban guard in her first season at San Salvador. In the last game Martinez recorded an impressive double-double of 29 points and 13 rebounds. Of course she led San Salvador to another comfortable win outscoring Santa Ana (1-3) 91-51. A very good start of the season for her team, which won so far all 4 games without any defeat. Martinez is a newcomer at San Salvador and quickly became one of team's most reliable players. She belongs to the best scorers in the league with 21.0ppg (#5). Her other stats are also decent: 15.5rpg and 3.8apg.

Third place about best performers goes to another Ahuachapan's star - guard Yenifer Jimenez (163-SG-1999). Jimenez got into 30-points club by scoring exactly 30 points in the last round. She went also for ten rebounds and six assists. She was another key player of Ahuachapan BC, helping her team with a 82-41 easy win against Capitalinas (#6, 0-4). The chances of Ahuachapan not to end season at such low position in the league, however are less than slim as they have already lost 2 games, recording just one victories. With bigger assistance of her teammates, Jimenez could try to bring Ahuachapan's a little bit higher in the standings. Jimenez has individually a great season in El Salvador. After only 3 games, she made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 26.7ppg (2nd best), rebounds with 10.7rpg (4th best) and assists with 5.3apg (4th best).
