Experienced Monica Aristondo (163-SG-1992) had a great game in the last round for Ahuachapan BC and that's her to receive a Hoops Agents Liga Mayor Player of the Week award for round 14.
The 33-year old shooting guard had the game-high 37 points adding four rebounds for Ahuachapan in her team's victory, helping them to beat Salvadorenas (#2, 9-6) 78-64. Ahuachapan maintains the 5th position in Salvadorean Liga Mayor. Ahuachapan is currently ranked second from the bottom. They need more victories to improve their 6-9 record. In the team's last game Aristondo had a remarkable 57.1% from 2-point range and got four three-pointers out of 7 attempts. She turned to be Ahuachapan's top player in her first season with the team. Aristondo has impressive league stats. She is in league's top in points (3rd best: 23.3ppg) and averages solid 4.7spg.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was another Ahuachapan's star - young Dominican Rep. shooting guard Yenifer Jimenez (163-SG-1999). Jimenez impressed basketball fans with 29 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists. Of course together with Aristondo she helped Ahuachapan BC with another comfortable win 78-64 over the higher-ranked Salvadorenas (#2, 9-6) being unquestionably team leader. Ahuachapan's 5th position in the standings has not changed. Her team is not often considered as one of the league's best with a mere 6-9 record. Jimenez is a newcomer at Ahuachapan 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 28.3ppg (#1). Her other stats are also decent: 10.5rpg and 4.1apg.

The third best performed player last round was Silvia Vega (176-C-2003) of second-ranked Salvadorenas. Vega scored 13 points and grabbed 19 rebounds (!!!). She was a key player of Salvadorenas, leading her team to a 66-49 easy win against #4 ranked Santa Tecla in a game of the week. Salvadorenas needs these victories very badly if they think about taking over top position in the standings. Their record at this point is 9 victories and 6 lost games. Vega has a great season in El Salvador. After 15 games, she made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 14.9ppg (8th best) and rebounds with 12.5rpg (2nd best). She also has 1.5bpg and a FGP of 51.6%.
