All-Star Five – Week 21

No starting five line-up this season has racked up such a collection of eye-catching and productive performances.

Jen Ashton (Leicester Riders)
A week after lifting the Betty Codona WBBL Trophy, Ashton was helping Riders to impose a crushing derby win on Nottingham. The playmaker tortured Wildcats by coming up with her best line of the season after posting a stellar 20 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists and 5 steals as Leicester stormed past their East Midlands rivals.

Helen Naylor (Westfield Health Sheffield Hatters)
The Hatters’ captain led by example in the convincing home victory against Caledonia Pride, with Naylor lighting it up in what was arguably her best outing of the campaign. She harvested a super 33 points, as well as 6 rebounds and 5 assists in an all action performance.

Roya Rustamzada (Oaklands Wolves)
It was a club record breaking fifth straight win for Oaklands when they toppled Manchester Mystics on the road and once again, Rustamzada was at the heart of the success. Chalking up her third consecutive appearance in our starting line-up, her latest berth came courtesy of a typically classy and special 30 points (from 71% shooting), plus 10 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals.

Sarah Toeaina (Westfield Health Sheffield Hatters)
The 2019 Cup Final MVP looks to be warming up nicely again and ready make a massive impact down the season stretch. She proved too hot to handle against Caledonia as she amassed a fine 20 points from 81% shooting. Toeaina also went to work on the glass with 8 rebounds – as well as grabbing 4 steals.

The Durham center was unstoppable against Cardiff Met Archers as she produced the best performance not only of the weekend, but one of the best by any player this season. She torched Archers with a brilliant double-double of 28 points and 13 rebounds, shooting 11 of 14 from the floor and adding 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.
