She had the game-high 30 points adding eight rebounds and eight assists for Prishtina in her team's victory, helping them to beat Penza (#4, 2-5) 79-73. The game was between two of the league's top four teams. Prishtina maintains the 2nd position in Liga Unike . They are still close to the very top. Prishtina would have been even better if they kept winning the games like in the last round. They have a solid 6-1 record. In the team's last game Johnson had a remarkable 58.3% from 2-point range. She turned to be Prishtina's top player in her first season with the team. Mississippi State University graduate has very impressive stats this year. Johnson is league's best scorer averaging so far 23.5ppg. Johnson is in league's top in assists (5th best: 5.3apg) and averages solid 1.2bpg,2.8spg and 55.2% FGP.

Second best performed player last round was Aulona Muhadri (182-F/C-1998) of top-ranked Bashkimi Prizren. She is a forward in her 3rd season at Bashkimi. In the last game Muhadri recorded an impressive double-double of 19 points and 18 rebounds. Of course she led Bashkimi to another comfortable win outscoring the lower-ranked Partizani (#6, 1-6) 76-44. Of course Bashkimi still keep the league's top spot. She plays for the best team in the league and Bashkimi managed to win all 7 games keeping a perfect record. Muhadri is one of the most experienced players at Bashkimi and has a reputation of one of team's most reliable players.

Third place about best performers goes to center Asia Henderson (190-C) of Flamurtari Vlore (#5). Henderson scored 17 points and grabbed 22 rebounds (!!!). Despite Henderson's great performance the Flamurtari lost 59-62 to slightly higher-ranked Tirana (#3, 3-3). But her team cannot count on just a single player as she also needs help of the other teammates. Flamurtari can only dream about fighting for top spots in the league. They have rather bad season and 1-5 record places them close to the bottom of the standings. Henderson has individually a great season in Liga Unike. After only 6 games, she made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 17.7ppg (7th best) and rebounds with 14.5rpg (#1 in league).
