Talented Bernada Rreshpja (2001) had a great game in the last round for Vllaznia Shkodra and that's her to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 9.
The 22-year old had a double-double of 41 points and nineteen rebounds, while her team outclassed, the league's bottom-ranked team Berleti (#8, 0-9) with 66-point margin 106-40. Vllaznia maintains the 4th position in Albanian Superliga. They would have been even better if they hadn't lost a few games earlier this season. Vllaznia will need more victories to improve their 5-3 record. In the team's last game Rreshpja had a remarkable 60.0% from 2-point range. She turned to be Vllaznia's top player in her first season with the team. Rreshpja has impressive league stats. She is league's best scorer averaging so far 27.5ppg. Rreshpja is in league's top in rebounds (4th best: 10.0rpg), assists (9th best: 3.5apg) and averages solid 5.8spg and 60.2% FGP.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was another Vllaznia's star - young Anisa Bokrina (170-SF-2005). Bokrina impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 19 points and 10 assists. Of course together with Rreshpja she helped Vllaznia Shkodra with another comfortable win outscoring Berleti (#8, 0-9) 106-40. Vllaznia's 4th position in the standings has not changed. Her team's 5-3 record is not bad at all. Bokrina is one of the most experienced players at Vllaznia and similarly like Bernada Rreshpja has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.

The third best performed player last round was Morina Bojka (1999) of SK Tirana (#3). Bojka showcased her all-around game by recording 25 points, thirteen rebounds (!!!) and five assists in the last round. Despite Bojka's great performance Tirana lost 68-73 to #2 ranked Partizani. But her team cannot count on just a single player as she also needs help of the other teammates especially in such crucial game. The last thing Tirana needs is to lose another game like this one. They lose more and more distance to the top teams. Their record is 7 victories and 2 lost games. Bojka has a great season in Albania. After only 8 games, she made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 18.1ppg (3rd best).

4. A'Lexxus Davis (188-C-1996) of Teuta - 12 points and 20 rebounds
