    MUNICH (Germany) - There was no stopping Perfumerias Avenida star Kahleah Copper right now after the guard posted another stellar individual performance to light up Gameday 8.

    MUNICH (Germany) - There's no stopping Perfumerias Avenida star Kahleah Copper in EuroLeague Women right now after the guard posted another stellar individual performance to light up Gameday 8.

    Copper became the first player this season to move past the 30 point milestone twice after an outstanding 35-point haul propelled her team past MBA Moscow. She also did it at the defensive end with four steals in the 77-69 road win.

    It was bittersweet this week for Megan Gustafson who had to endure an agonizing 67-64 home loss against Dynamo Kursk, yet individually, she continues to turn heads for VBW Arka Gdynia. The forward shot 60 percent from the floor en-route to 22 points and just missed out on a double-double by a solitary rebound - as well as handing out four assists.

    Alyssa Thomas came close to delivering an amazing triple-double for ZVVZ USK Praha as they swept past BLMA 89-54. She was unstoppable in the contest and showed out with 18 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists. 

    In the same game, Dragana Stankovic had a near-perfect shooting night for Praha as she made 8 of 9 shots to net 17 points. The Serbian also completed an eye-catching performance with 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks.

    Fenerbahce Safirport had a night to remember as they tore their way past derby rivals Galatasaray to claim a one-sided 107-62 win. Satou Sabally provided the main thrust with an impressive 19 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists.
