#1. French Amandine Toi, a 27-year-old guard standing at 5'10'' and a recent graduate from Virginia in 2022, is currently playing professionally in Iceland. In her most recent game, despite her impressive performance, Toi was unable to help her team, Haukar, as they suffered a significant defeat on the road against Njardvik, the second-ranked team in the Places 1-5 group. Haukar, holding the top spot with a 16-6 record, was beaten decisively by Njardvik with a final score of 95-70. Toi, the second-best scorer in the game, contributed 17 points in 35 minutes of play, showcasing her scoring abilities by making all six of her free throws. This season marks Toi's debut with the team, and her efforts on the court have not gone unnoticed. In the matchup against Njardvik, she displayed her skills by scoring 17 points, securing 2 rebounds, and providing 1 assist. Despite her outstanding individual performance, Haukar could not secure the victory. Throughout the season, Toi has maintained impressive statistics, averaging 21.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 1.5 steals per game across the 33 games she has played so far. Her consistent performance highlights her talent and contribution to the team, despite the recent setback in the game against Njardvik.

In the game, Moorer contributed 6 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists in 29 minutes of play. The Gold Coast Rollers, who are in ninth place with a 2-5 record, suffered a 51-60 defeat to the lower-ranked Pirates (#13) in the North group, marking their fourth consecutive loss.
