#1. Latvian Ieva Korzane, a 22-year-old guard standing at 5'10'' who graduated from Eckerd in 2026 and received the WBCA All-NCAA Division II Honorable Mention award that year, is currently playing professionally in Italy. She recently played a crucial role in Alperia Basket Club Bolzano's impressive 73-57 victory over the seventh-ranked Trieste in the Italian Serie A2 (second division) during a Saturday night game. Korzane, in her first year with the team, showcased her talent by scoring 13 points in 31 minutes of play, contributing significantly to her team's success. Despite Bolzano currently being placed sixth in Group A, it is still early in the season, leaving room for potential changes in the rankings. Korzane's noteworthy performance against Trieste highlighted her skills, with 13 points, 2 rebounds, and 1 assist to her name. Her exceptional display on the court played a pivotal role in securing victory for her team, making her the champion of the game. With an average of 10.5 points per game in the two games she has played thus far, Korzane has been maintaining relatively good statistics this season. As the season progresses, her talent and contributions are expected to continue shining on the court.
#2. British Maya Price, a 26-year-old center standing at 6'3'', and an alumna of Tritons from 2022, has been excelling in the British Women's Super League Basketball as a finalist. Recently, she showcased her skills in a remarkable victory against the sixth-ranked Hatters, with a resounding 88-59 win in a game held on Saturday night. In the game, Price displayed her prowess by scoring 9 points, securing 4 rebounds, providing 3 assists, and blocking 2 shots within 19 minutes of play. Her performance was instrumental in Manchester Basketball's triumph, positioning them second in the league standings. Notably, this is Price's debut season with the team, and she has already made a significant impact. In another standout game against Sheffield H., Price once again proved her worth by contributing 9 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists. Her exceptional performance guided her team to victory, solidifying her status as the champion of the game. Throughout the season, Price has maintained impressive averages of 8.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 3.0 blocks per game, ranking her as the second-best shot blocker in the league after two games played.
#3. Danish player Cirkeline Rimdal, a 5'11'' guard who graduated from Eckerd in 2023 and currently plays professionally in Denmark, showcased her skills in a recent game for Amager against Herlev in the Danish Dameligaen. Despite her impressive performance where she scored 7 points, secured 5 rebounds, dished out 3 assists, and made 4 steals in 26 minutes of play, Amager was defeated 55-70 on the road by Herlev, the second-ranked team in the league. Rimdal's contributions on the court have been noteworthy this season, averaging 6.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 3.5 steals per game, making her the third-best steal performer in the league. Her consistent performance highlights her value as a key player for Amager, even though the team was unable to secure a win in the game against Herlev.
#4. Danish Lisa Michaelsen, a 6'1'' forward who is 23 years old and an alumna of Tritons from 2026, currently plays professionally in Sweden. In a recent Swedish Damligan matchup, Michaelsen, a finalist, was unable to lead Lund (0-2) to a victory over Uppsala (1-1). Despite her efforts, Lund fell short with a score of 60-68 against the higher-ranked Uppsala (#7) at home. It was not one of Michaelsen's standout performances as she only scored 3 points, grabbed 4 rebounds, and played for 30 minutes. This season marks Michaelsen's first with the team, where she has shown promise with an average of 3.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game in the two games played so far. In the latest game against Uppsala, Michaelsen, a champion, displayed a solid performance with 3 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists, although it was not enough to secure the win for her team.
#5. French champion Lauryn Vieira, a 5'3'' point guard who graduated from Eckerd in 2024 and received the WBCA NCAA Division II All-Americans Team award that year, currently plays professionally in France. In a recent match in the French Ligue Feminine 2 de Basketball, she led PVBC to a resounding 98-49 victory over La Roche, one of the league's weakest teams with a 0-3 record. Vieira showcased her talent by recording a double-double, scoring 13 points, dishing out 10 assists, and grabbing 4 rebounds in just 25 minutes of play. Pays Voironnais Basket Club, with a 3-0 record, holds the third position in the league standings, having won all three games in the Regular Season thus far. Vieira's exceptional performance against La Roche, where she contributed significantly with her scoring, playmaking, and rebounding, played a crucial role in securing the victory for her team, propelling them to become the finalist. Throughout the season, Vieira has been averaging 7.0 points, 2.7 rebounds, 7.3 assists (the second-best in the league), and 2.3 steals per game in the three games played. Her consistent contributions and leadership on the court have been pivotal in her team's success, positioning them strongly as they aim for championship glory.
