    MUNICH (Germany) - With the second window of the FIBA Women's EuroBasket 2025 Qualifiers now over it's time to take a look at who was the standout player for each team.

    Austria - Alexia Allesch

    Statistics: 16.5 EFF; 7.5 PPG; 9.5 RPG; 2.0 APG While Allesch was off target in the clash with Netherlands, the forward did put up her team's best indiviual display by far with a huge performance against Croatia when she attained an eye-catching performance efficiency valuation of 28.

    Azerbaijan - Arica Carter

    Statistics: 8.0 EFF; 20.0 PPG; 3.5 APG; 2.5 RPG Top of the scouting list and attracting a lot of defensive attention in the two losses, Carter still managed to score an impressive 20.0 points per game across the window. However, nothing came easy at all and that showed in efficiency.

    Belgium - Emma Meesseman

    Statistics: 30.0 EFF; 23.0 PPG; 7.5 RPG; 3.5 APG; 2.5 SPG What a colossus as usual. Meesseman put her team on her back in that edge of the seat meeting in Poland with a monstrous performance and also did the business in a tricky first game against Lithuania to improve the Cats to 3-1.

    Bosnia and Herzegovina - Melisa Brcaninovic

    Statistics: 16.0 EFF; 13.0 PPG; 10.5 RPG; 2.5 APG It was another window to forget for Bosnia and Herzegovina, but Brcaninovic showed her quality with some solid individual efforts. She racked up a double-double across the games and was the one player to do show her level.

    Bulgaria - Khaalia Hillsman

    Statistics: 25.5 EFF; 23.5 PPG; 11.0 RPG She posted a spectacular debut in Hungary and led her side to a memorable victory in Hungary which captured the Gameday 3 headlines. Her physical presence and scoring ability was a big factor and she's a huge addition for Bulgaria.

    Croatia - Andrijana Cvitkovic

    Statistics: 27.5 EFF; 25.0 PPG; 7.0 RPG The guard is playing some of her best basketball in a national team vest right now and lit it up against Austria and Spain. She held the hot-hand and carried Croatia's scoring threat, also doing a good job on the glass for her team too.

    Czechia - Emma Cechova

    Statistics: 21.0 EFF; 16.5 PPG; 7.5 RPG; The Czech rising star continued to enhance her reputation with two nice displays against. She was the shining light across a pair of losses, shooting the ball really well. She posted a nice 21 points and 10 boards in the Germany game.

    Denmark - Maria Jespersen

    Statistics: 17.0 EFF; 18.0 PPG; 11.5 RPG, 4.0 APG A standout player for the national team for a long time, the quality of Jespersen continues to show - even if wins were not achieved. She turned up the dial against Estonia and Great Britain to amass a second window double-double.

    Estonia - Kadri-Ann Lass

    Statistics: 16.5 EFF;12.5 PPG; 4.5 RPG; 3.0 APG; 3.0 BPG Outstanding in the loss to Sweden, Lass posted a fabulous 24-point performance. While she struggled shooting-wise against Denmark after this, her defense was truly vital to the win. She averaged 3.0 blocks per game in the window.

    Finland - Awak Kuier

    Statistics: 31.0 EFF; 23.5 PPG; 11.0 RPG; 3.5 BPG It was a mixed bag with a loss and a win, but the brilliance of the athletic Awak was constant. With aq double-double across both games, her efficiency was superb and 3.5 blocks per game keeps her as the competition's 'Swat Queen'.

    France - Gabby Williams

    Statistics: 20.5 EFF; 16.0 PPG; 5.5 RPG; 4.0 APG; 2.0 BPG With multiple key players absent, Williams led by example to make sure that was not an issue for France. Her play at both ends of the court was trademark, contributing as usual in every area and showing why she is such a class act.

    Germany - Marie Guelich

    Statistics: 20.0 EFF; 14.5 PPG; 12.0 RPG; A typically strong display by the frontcourt ace, she helped Germany bank two wins despite missing key ballers. She shot the ball well and harvested a double-double, although did turn the ball over more than she would have liked.

    Great Britain - Holly Winterburn

    Statistics: 24.5 EFF; 17.0 PPG; 8.0 RPG; 8.0 APG; 4.0 SPG Now very much the do-it-all baller for the Brits, Winterburn flirted with a triple-double in the win against Denmark. She was then influential in what turned out to be an agonizing loss to Sweden. Her overall numbers underline her quality.

    Greece - Mariella Fasoula

    Statistics: 23.5 EFF; 22.0 PPG; 9.0 RPG; 3.0 SPG, 2.0 APG Out injured in the first window, Greece welcomed back their star baller with open arms and it didn't take long for Fasoula to remind everyone of what they missed. Her towering and classy presence puts Greece on a different level.

    Hungary - Bernadett Hatar

    Statistics: 16.5 EFF; 11.5 PPG; 5.5 RPG; 3.0 APG It was bitter sweet for Hatar as Hungary lost both of their games to finish with a serious dent in their qualification hopes. But at least the center was the pick for her team with a couple of solid showings against Bulgaria and Slovenia.

    Iceland - Danielle Rodriguez

    Statistics: 28.5 EFF; 27.0 PPG; 6.5 RPG; 3.5 APG The guard came up with the goods in her debut window and helped Iceland collect a victory against Romania which was largely down to her excellent display. So good, it earned her Top Performers honors for Gameday 4.

    Ireland - Bridget Herlihy

    Statistics: 13.0 EFF; 13.5 PPG; 7.0 RPG; 4.5 APG With two comprehensive defeats, there was not a lot to celebrate for Ireland, but Herlihy's showing against Israel was a high point. She recorded 27 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists in the contest, in her best game in a national team jersey.

    Israel - Jennie Simms

    Statistics: 31.0 EFF; 21 PTS; 10 REB; 10 AST Only the one game played in the window for Simms, but certainly made her present felt in the convincing win over Ireland by recording the first triple-double of the Qualifiers with 21 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists - also adding 2 steals and a block for good measure.

    Italy - Matilde Villa

    Statistics: 6.0 EFF; 10.0 PPG; 7.5 RPG; 2.0 APG There were few if any standout performances for Italy in the win against Czechia and Greece loss. Villa was arguably the pick for her 14-point effort against Greece, but she was still not at her very best, much like the rest of the team.

    Latvia - Kitija Laksa

    Statistics: 22.0 EFF; 21.5 PPG; 4.0 RPG; 2.0 APG Laksa shot the lights out against Ireland with a stunning 30-point display that landed her Gameday 3 Top Performer honors. Even in a big loss to France, she still continued her rich vein of scoring form by netting another 18 points.

    Lithuania - Laura Juskaite

    Statistics: 21.5 EFF; 17.4 PPG; 7.0 RPG; 3.0 APG In both road trips, Juskaite was the baller that posed the main scoring threat and she showed super consistency against Belgium and Azerbaijan. The forward finished nicely at the basket and kept her team in the race for a ticket.

    Luxembourg - Amanda Cahill

    Statistics: 25.0 EFF; 23.5 PPG; 8.5 RPG; 2.5 APG While Luxembourg couldn't make it a win double, Cahill will never rgoet a fabulous debut 32 points in a brilliant success against Montenegro. She was on absolute fire and the centerpiece of one of their best ever results.

    Montenegro - Bojana Kovacevic

    Statistics: 12.0 EFF; 10.5 PPG; 9.5 RPG In a spectacularly inconsistent two games for Montenegro that saw them crash in Luxembourg and sweep aside Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kovacevic found individual consistency. She only just missed out on a double-double window.

    Netherlands - Emese Hof

    Statistics: 19.5 EFF; 14.5 PPG; 11.5 RPG; 4.5 APG Hof showed her strength in the paint for Netherlands against Spain and Austria and performed very well with a double-double across the games. She also showed other sides to her game including almost 5.0 assists per outing too.

    North Macedonia - Andjelika Mitrashinovikj

    Statistics: 11.5 EFF; 16.5 PPG; 6.5 RPG; 4.0 APG In the sizeable losses to both Ukraine and Portugal, credit is due to Mitrashinovikj for two displays that were the best for her team in both cases. She was able to score 17 and 16 points resepctively and also did well on the boards too.

    Poland - Stephanie Mavunga

    Statistics: 23.0 EFF; 18.0 PPG; 8.0 RPG Poland's upwards curve continues thanks mainly to the presence of Mavunga who put up a couple of highly productive efforts against Azerbaijan and Belgium. Smart and efficiency shooting went alongside her strength in the paint.

    Portugal - Sofia da Silva

    Statistics: 10.5 EFF; 11.5 PPG; 6.5 RPG The experience of the Portugal forward was important in helping her team to bounce back from a big loss in Serbia to collect a win against North Macedonia. While the numbers weren't huge, her influence was very important on the floor.

    Romania - Alexandra Ghita

    Statistics: 16.0 EFF; 11.5 PPG; 8.0 RPG There was disappointment for Romania with double defeat in this window and especially against Iceland. But at least Ghita can reflect with pride on her own contributions which saw the forward do an all-around good job for her team.

    Serbia - Yvonne Anderson

    Statistics: 24.5 EFF; 17.5 PPG; 6.0 RPG; 6.0 APG The main architect of unbeaten Serbia's march to the brink of qualification, Anderson's combination of class and know-how was hugely important. She turned on the style with some super performances and numbers in two big wins.

    Slovakia - Miroslava Mistinova

    Statistics: 11.5 EFF; 10.0 PPG; 6.0 RPG While taking this MVP badge, Mistinova probably didn't quite perform at her absolute highest level. But still the pick for Slovakia who beat Iceland and lost to Türkiye. Her 10 boards and 2 steals in a tight one with Iceland were vital.

    Slovenia - Jessica Shepard

    Statistics: 38.0 EFF; 23.0 PPG; 20.0 RPG; 4.0 APG What an extraordinary debut window this was for Shepard. She stepped away from her first two games (and wins) for Slovenia having posted a mind-blowing double-double average of 23.0 points and 20.0 rebounds - truly monumental.

    Spain - Paula Ginzo

    Statistics: 14.5 EFF; 13.0 PPG; 6.0 RPG The center didn't put up any massive numbers but was a rock for Spain and posted two super smart displays in the wins against Netherlands and Croatia. Her shot selection was eye-catching and she reminded everyone of her skills.

    Sweden - Klara Lundquist

    Statistics: 26.5 EFF; 23.5 PPG; 11.5 RPG; 4.0 APG It was a spectacular window for Lundquist who put up 30 points in the win over Estonia and then helped take down Great Britain to book a ticket to Final Round. It was not just her scoring but the guard's amazing work on the glass too.

    Switzerland - Nancy Fora

    Statistics: 17.0 EFF; 9.0 PPG; 7.0 RPG; 5.0 APG; 2.0 SPG What a window it was for Switzerland as they won in Bosnia and Herzegovina and then followed it up by beating Luxembourg on home soil. Fora was the anchor in these wins with all-action displays that underpinned the victories.

    Türkiye - Teaira McCowan

    Statistics: 29.0 EFF; 24.0 PPG; 10.0 RPG; 2.0 SPG Unguardable at times because of her sheer size, the added quality and post play of McCowan was the heartbeat of Türkiye punching their ticket. She amassed a huge window double-double and was a real difference-maker.

    Ukraine - Miriam Uro-Nilie

    Statistics: 15.0 EFF; 15.0 PPG; 6.0 RPG There was a big win for Ukraine against North Macedonia and a big loss against Serbia. Uro-Nilie was the model of consistency in this window with some smart showings. The forward was active, aggressive and stood out in the games.
