Intergalactic Mavunga headlines Team of the Week

MUNICH (EuroCup Women) – Fans in Krasnoyarsk must have felt like the Monstars from the movie Space Jam landed in the Russian city, as they witnessed Stephanie Mavunga post an out-of-this-world double-double.

Having averaged a remarkable 20 points and 11 rebounds over the opening two games, the US forward lifted her game to another level on Thursday, leading WBC Enisey to a 99-84 win over Mersin.

Mavunga set new season-highs in points, rebounds and efficiency, as she made 13-of-14 field goals on her way to 32 points, 23 rebounds, including 10 on the offensive end, and an efficiency rating of 51.

Her mark overshadowed another outstanding performance by Samantha Whitcomb, who is making the Top Performer lineup for the second consecutive week. The Australian guard stuffed the boxscore in BLMA's 92-50 win over VBW CEKK Cegled, finishing the contest with 30 points, 9 assists, 7 rebounds, 3 steals and an efficiency of 41.

She is joined in the backcourt by Reyer Venezia's Jolene Anderson, who accumulated a 23-point and 12-assist double-double to pace her side to a 92-75 triumph over DVTK Miskolc.

The Team of the Week is rounded out by Galatasaray's Sinem Atas and Orman Genclik's Aneika Henry. Turkish small forward Atas logged her best game of the season, as she had 21 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists in Galatasaray's 89-67 win at MBA Moscow, while veteran center Henry controlled the post with a 20-point, 15-rebound double-double to help Orman to a 76-68 win over ACS Sepsi.
