Giulia Simioni has been lighting it up of late at the brand new Newcastle Eagles Community Arena and her fitting displays in the fabulous new venue have been rewarded with a gong.

The Swiss has been crowned the Molten WBBL Player of the Month for February after serving up some eye-popping numbers during the period.

Handing out an astonishing 11.5 assists per game, the playmaker also returned a February double-double by racking up a productive 13 points per game.

The Eagles’ star will now be focused on maintaining her rich vein of form to help to push the north-east franchise up the standings, as they chase down a top four spot in the WBBL Championship.
