18-year old forward Polina Tupalo (175-F-2007) had an amazing evening in the last round for second-ranked Vasyl Stefanyk Carpathian National Unive and receives a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 1.
She had the game-high 21 points adding nine rebounds and three assists for VSC in her team's victory, helping them to outclass Ridzene (#7, 1-3) with 41-point margin 68-27. Thanks to this victory VSC moved-up to the 2nd position in EGBL U19. The season is still on an early stage, but VSC already had a very good start winning all 4 without losing a single one. In the team's last game Tupalo had a remarkable 55.6% from 2-point range and got three three-pointers out of 7 attempts. She turned to be VSC's top player in her first season with the team. Tupalo has impressive league stats. She is in league's top in points (4th best: 13.3ppg), assists (2nd best: 3.5apg) and averages solid 3.0spg and 51.6% FGP.

Second best performed player last round was Dalila Murzova (169-F-2009). She is a forward in her first season at VSC. In the last game Murzova recorded an impressive double-double of 10 points and 11 rebounds. Of course together with Tupalo she helped BK Frank Ivano-Frankivsk with another comfortable win outscoring Honka (0-4) 80-40. A very good start of the season for her team, which won so far all 4 games without any defeat. Murzova is a newcomer at Frankivsk and despite she is not a team leader yet, every game she becomes more reliable player. Hopefully performances like the last one will happen more often.

Third place about best performers goes to another VSC's star - forward Svitlana Poliantseva (181-F-2007). Poliantseva showcased her all-around game by recording 14 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists in the last round. She was another key player of Vasyl Stefanyk Carpathian National Unive, helping her team with a 80-40 easy win against Honka (#8, 0-4). VSC started extremely well this year. They recorded 4 victories without losing a single game. Poliantseva turns to be one of the very best players in the league while she is also a leader of the top team having her eyes on the championship title. Poliantseva has a great season in European Girls Basketball League. After only 4 games, she made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 12.5ppg (7th best) and assists with 5.0apg (best passer).

The Player of the week is selected based on efficiency calculation, but also including game result, importance of the game, if played recorded double-double/triple-double, etc.
The efficiency formula is a combination of various formulas used by different basketball organizations/leagues. We got involved many basketball scouts and journalists to assure it's accuracy.
The formula: 1.5*PTS + 3*(REB+AST+ST+BL-TO) - 2*BSAG - 4*PF + 3*PFRV + 4*(2FGPM+3FGPM) + 1.5*FTM - 3*(2FGPA-2FGPM) - 3*(3FGPA-3FGPM) - (FTA-FTM)
