SALAMANCA, ESP – The incoming third-year player has acquired her third "Mystics on the Map" Player of the Week accolade after lifting her overseas team to a thrilling victory in overtime.

Sika Koné posted her fourth double-double of the offseason in Perfumerías Avenida's overtime win against Gernika Bizkaia, 79-77. Her 17 points on 8-for-10 shooting from the field were the second most of any player that touched the court, and her 11 rebounds led all players on the night. The Mystics forward also displayed unyielding efforts on defense, swiping three steals.

Currently averaging 7.1 points and 1.3 steals per game for Perfumerías Avenida this offseason, Koné also pilots her team on the rebounding leaderboard with 5.3 per game. The third-ranked team now holds a 15-4 record this season after picking up their second consecutive victory to close out January play.
