Perla Ghattas had an amazing evening in the last round for Homentmen Antelias and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 1.
She had a double-double of 21 points and 12 rebounds, while her team beat Hoops (#5, 1-1) 55-43. Homentmen maintains the 4th position in Lebanese WLBL. But it's just the very beginning of the season and Homentmen won both games without losing any. It's too early to say anything as the standings can be changed completely after next round. It was one of impressive evenings for Ghattas as usually she does not deliver so high stats. Ghattas has impressive league stats. She is in league's top in rebounds (7th best: 10.5rpg) and averages solid 66.7% FGP.

Second best performed player last round was Rebecca Akl (170-PG-1992) of top-ranked Sporting Al Riyadi Beirut. She is naturalized Brazilian guard in her first season at Al Riyadi. In the last game Akl recorded impressive double-double of 16 points and 12 assists. Of course she led Al Riyadi to another comfortable win outscoring Taadod (1-2) 77-35. Her team has extremely good start of the season. They won both games so far. However the season is at the beginning, so everything can happen. They still may lose their high position in the standings. Akl is a newcomer at Al Riyadi and quickly became one of team's most reliable players.

Third place about best performers goes to Serena Hachem of Antranik Beirut (#8). Hachem scored 23 points and grabbed seven rebounds. Despite Hachem's great performance Antranik lost 60-63 to Almtayleb (#6, 1-1). But her team cannot count on just a single player as she also needs help of the other teammates. Antranik can only dream about fighting for top spots in the league. They have awful season losing so far all 2 games. Too bad for Hachem she does not play for a better team. But maybe if she did, her season stats would not be that high. Hachem has individually a great season in Lebanon. After only 2 games, she made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 17.0ppg (5th best).

Other top performing players last week:
4. Nathalie Sevadjian (170-SF-1988) of Club Beirut - 20 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists
