However, it was Bridget Carleton of Serco UNI Gyor who deservedly took home Player of the Week honors after receiving 42 percent of the overall fan votes, with Villeneuve d'Ascq LM's Kennedy Burke in second place with 34 percent of the tally.
Bridget Carleton recorded a EuroLeague Women career night with the highest points tally seen in the competition in more than 20 years - and the third highest of the modern era. She dropped eight triples on her way to a stunning 41 points as she also added 6 rebounds and 4 steals for a performance efficiency valuation of 47 in a 91-80 win against KGHM BC Polkowice.
While Fenerbahce Alagoz Holding were not at their best as they outlasted Polski Cukier AZS UMCS Lublin 72-61, Emma Meesseman was on her 'A-game'. The Belgian Cats' star claimed a double-double of 16 points and 11 rebounds, while also snapping up 4 steals.
The performance efficiency valuation of 33 attained by Meeseman was matched by Kennedy Burke who turned up the dial for Villeneuve d'Ascq LM. She was hugely influential as usual, dropping 31 points for her team and grabbing 4 steals as they registered an eye-catching 90-81 success against ZVVZ USK Praha.
Marina Mabrey is one of the undoubted form players of the competition and put Cukurova Basketbol Mersin one step closer to the Quarter-Finals with another exceptional contribution as they beat Virtus Segafredo Bologna 64-61. As well as sinking the free-throws that sealed the win, the guard stepped off the court having amassed 19 points, 9 assists and 7 boards.
Finally, Alba Torrens used all of her quality and experience to keep Valencia Basket Club in contention for the post-season. The winger did it at both ends in an 85-56 victory against Casademont Zaragoza with a flawless shooting night that returned 12 points to go with 5 assists and 5 steals.
