One of our line-up this week becomes only the sixth player of the campaign to bring up her fifth starting slot.

Jen Ashton (Westfield Health Sheffield Hatters)
The playmaker was in excellent form as Hatters got off the mark in the Trophy at the first attempt with a win over Durham. Ashton finished the contest against Palatinates with an all-action 11 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 steals.

Dee Hayward (Leicester Riders)
The Riders’ guard was the driving force behind them storming their way to their Trophy victory in Wales against Cardiff Met Archers. Hayward helped her side with a scorching 25-point haul and that brought up her fifth starting berth of the season.

Cat Carr (Sevenoaks Suns)
Sevenoaks Suns had little trouble in despatching Oaklands Wolves in their opening Trophy match-up of the campaign and as usual, Carr was at the heart of the win. She amassed 16 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds and two steals in the road success.

Julia Koppl (Sevenoaks Suns)
The forward produced a fine shooting display for Sevenoaks in their triumph at Oaklands as Koppl took down the home side with a team-high 17 points. She sunk 60% from the floor for the holders and also did a good job on the glass by snapping up 8 rebounds.

Kate Oliver (Leicester Riders)
The towering center was a handful for the Cardiff Met Archers defence as she did the business for Riders in the paint during their Trophy win. Oliver managed to accumulate 15 points after shooting 60%, also missing out on a double-double by just 1 rebound.

Off the bench – Paula Tarnachowicz (Durham Palatinates), Judit Fritz (Sevenoaks Suns), Rachel Morris (Oaklands Wolves), Laurie Causeur (Westfield Health Sheffield Hatters), Merissa Quick (Cardiff Met Archers), Ta’Yani Clark (Sevenoaks Suns), Cierra Ceazer (Durham Palatinates).
