Clinical performance earns Vadeeva Top Performer honors

MUNICH (EuroLeague Women) – Russian teen sensation Maria Vadeeva produced her best game of the season to headline the Top Performers of EuroLeague Women Regular Season Week 6.

The 19-year-old stood out amongst several notable performances in Dynamo Kursk's 102-45 rout over Galatasaray. The Turkish visitors struggled to find a recipe against the reigning champions, with Vadeeva posing the biggest threat.

The 6ft 3in (1.90m) center stuffed the boxscore with 21 points on 10-of-14 shooting from the field, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 steals to finish with a week-high efficiency rating of 31.

Vadeeva is joined in the frontcourt by UMMC Ekaterinburg's Brittney Griner, who collected 27 points and 8 eight rebounds in the Russian club's 64-50 win over Famila Schio.

Griner's efficiency of 27 was matched by Maurita Reid, who is orchestrating the Team of the Week. The veteran point guard underlined her fine form this season with an all-round 22 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals, guiding Wisla CANPACK to their first win in Group B, 85-67 against BLMA.

There was no shortage of guard power, with Spanish duo Silvia Dominguez and Marta Xargay completing this week's lineup. Dominguez had the hot hand for Perfumerias Avenida, netting 20 points as her club held on for a 67-58 triumph over Nadezhda to get back on the winning track.

ZVVZ USK Praha celebrated their first road win, 79-71 at Sopron Basket, with Xargay making her presence felt on both ends of the court, ending the night with a well-rounded stat line of 16 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 steals.
