Stephie Fajardo had an amazing evening in the last round for league's leader Felix Perez Cardozo Asuncion and that's her to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 6.
The had a double-double of 18 points and 11 rebounds, while her team outclassed, the league's bottom-ranked team Sol de Amer. (#4, 0-5) with 50-point margin 89-39. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. It allowed Felix Perez to consolidate first place in the Paraguayan LNBF. They maintain a perfect record without any lost game in the league. The season is still on an early stage, but Felix Perez already had a very good start winning all 5 without losing a single one. In the team's last game Fajardo had a remarkable 75.0% from 2-point range. She just recently signed at Felix Perez and just after two games she already turned to be a very valuable addition to the team. Stephie Fajardo averages just after two games 15.0ppg and 13.0rpg.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young guard Gilda Duarte (170-G-2009) of Deportivo San Jose. Duarte impressed basketball fans with 14 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. Bad luck as Deportivo SJ lost that game 48-61 to slightly higher-ranked Olimpia (#2, 4-2). It was definitely game of the week between two contenders to the title. Deportivo SJ still maintains its place in the top 3 of the standings, even despite this loss. 3 lost games are too many comparing to just one victory Deportivo SJ managed to get this year. Duarte is one of the most experienced players at Deportivo SJ and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players. She belongs to the best scorers in the league with 12.7ppg (#2). She also registered 5.7 boards per game.

The third best performed player last round was Argentinian Julia Fernandez (185-C-2004) of second-ranked Olimpia Asuncion. Fernandez scored 17 points and grabbed 8 rebounds. She was a key player of Olimpia, leading her team to a 61-48 easy win against #3 ranked Deportivo SJ. Olimpia needs these victories very badly if they think about taking over top position in the standings. Their record at this point is 4 victories and 2 lost games. The season just started for Fernandez as she played only first game. But it already looks like she can be team's leader.
