#1. Alaina Coates (6'4''-C-95, graduated '17, plays pro in China) could not help Zhejiang Golden Bulls (7-17) in their last game. Despite her very good performance Zhejiang Golden Bulls were crushed 77-56 on the road by the higher-ranked (#11) Hebei. Coates had a double-double by scoring 23 points and getting 16 rebounds in 28 minutes; quite an impressive performance considering it's only her second season in pro basketball. It was Zhejiang Golden Bulls' fourth consecutive loss in a row. It's Coates' first year with the team. Coates has individually a very good season with high stats. She averages 16.7ppg, 12.6rpg, 1.3apg, 1.2bpg and 1.2spg in 20 games she played so far.
#2. Tiffany Mitchell (5'9''-G-94, graduated '16, plays in Turkey) was not able to help OGM Orman Genclik Ankara (9-2) in their last game on Saturday. Despite her good performance OGM Orman Genclik Ankara was defeated 71-64 in Adana by the lower-ranked Botas (#4). Mitchell was the second best scorer with 14 points. She also added 5 rebounds. It was her first game for OGM Orman Genclik Ankara this season. There are only three games left until the end of the Regular Season. So now every game will be critical. It's Mitchell's first year with the team.
#3. Ashley Bruner (6'0''-F-91, graduated '13, currently in France) was the major contributor in Hainaut's victory against the closely-ranked Basket Landes (5-5) 72-71 in the French LFB in Saturday night's game. She had a double-double by scoring 20 points and getting 10 rebounds. Bruner also added 4 assists in 38 minutes. Union Saint-Amand Porte du Hainaut (5-5) is placed fifth in the LFB. Bruner has very impressive stats this year 16.6ppg, 7.5rpg, 2.2apg and 1.9spg in 10 games.

Gray scored 15 points, had 4 boards, passed 5 assists and added 4 steals; not bad, considering it's only her second season in pro basketball. Elitzur Ramla (7-2) is placed first in the D1. This season Gray has very high stats. She averages 21.7ppg, 8.0rpg, 1.4apg and 1.7spg.
