MUNICH (EuroLeague Women) – Sonja Petrovic demonstrated her class with a near-perfect performance on Wednesday to lead Dynamo Kursk past Carolo Basket and earn Top Performer honors in the process.

The Serbian international reminded everybody of why she was the Regular Season MVP last season by delivering 23 points on 8-of-9 shooting from the field, 11 rebounds and 3 assists for an efficiency of 34.

Dynamo Kursk rode her hot hand to an 83-62 win over the French newcomers to top the Group B standings with a 2-0 record. Elsewhere in the group, Perfumerias Avenida faced a tougher challenge to get off the mark, edging the visiting Fenerbahce 88-82 in an overtime thriller. One of the cornerstones of the success was the display of center Angelica Robinson, who posted a highly-efficient 17 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists.

Joining Robinson in the frontcourt is ZVVZ USK Praha's Alyssa Thomas, making the Top Performer lineup for the second straight week. The US forward is proving to be a perfect addition for Prague after helping her team to a perfect 2-0 start. In Thursday's 69-50 win at Famila Schio, Thomas finished with an all-round 19 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals.
