American Guard Shaylee Gonzales (178-G-2000) had a great game in the last round for Correcaminos, receiving a Hoops Agents LNBPF Player of the Week award for round 9.
The 23-year old player was the main contributor (31 points, six rebounds) to her team's victory, helping them to beat Rojas (#4, 7-8) 80-71. Correcaminos maintains the 7th position in Mexican LNBPF. Correcaminos is rather a weak team placed in lower part in the standings. They need more victories to improve their 6-9 record. In the team's last game Gonzales had a remarkable 72.7% from 2-point range. She just recently signed at Correcaminos, being already a very valuable addition to the team. Former The University of Texas star has very solid stats this year. Gonzales is in league's top in points (6th best: 15.9ppg) and averages impressive 2.1spg.

The second best player in last round's games was another Correcaminos' star - young American Ciani Cryor (165-G-1997). Cryor had a very good evening with a double-double of 14 points and 10 rebounds. Of course Correcaminos cruised to a 80-71 relatively comfortable win over the higher-ranked Rojas (#4, 7-8). Correcaminos' 7th 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. Cryor is one of the most experienced players at Correcaminos and similarly like Shaylee Gonzales has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.

Third on the list of top players last round was another Correcaminos' star - American guard Brittany Byrd (176-G-1997). Byrd scored 23 points and grabbed 6 rebounds. She was another key player of Correcaminos, helping her team with a 64-56 win against the higher-ranked Rojas (#4, 7-8). The chances of Correcaminos ranking at the top of the league, however are very questionable as they have already lost 9 games, recording just six victories. With bigger assistance of her teammates, Byrd could help Correcaminos to bring them higher in the standings. Byrd has a great season in Mexico. After 15 games, she made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 19.5ppg (2nd best).

4. Kaitlyn Davis (188-G/F-2001) of Rojas - 9 points and 9 rebounds
