MUNICH (Germany) - The curtain has fallen on a fantastic 2024-25 EuroLeague Women season with a number of stellar statistical highs being set by an array of standout stars

We're delving into the various statistical categories in the competition to see which players proudly racked up the best game-highs across the campaign.

Natasha Howard has some sensational games for CIMSA CBK Mersin

Natasha Howard had a brilliant year with CIMSA CBK Mersin and that was underlined by the fact she not only had the best game of any player in terms of efficiency, she had two displays in the top five. Her best of 45 came against Tango Bourges Basket when she went a stunning 14 of 17 from the field en-route to 29 points and added 14 boards, 4 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks.

Her teammate Iliana Rupert was joint second with a valuation of 39 - a number shared by Brionna Jones of ZVVZ USK Praha - interestingly the only other club than Mersin to appear in the top five individual performances.

Khaalia Hillsman showed out for Besiktas JK in the Qualifiers but her team didn't make it to the First Round

Khaalia Hillsman could barely have done more to try and propel Besiktas JK into the Regular Season after she dropped a stunning 38 points in a game against Basket Landes in the Qualifiers.

Mersin duo Natasha Howard and Iliana Rupert showed their influence this season as they scored 35 and 34 respectively in different games. Four players managed to score more than 30 points in a game this season, with Breanna Jones of Praha the last member of that exclusive club.

Dorka Juhasz has some big games for Beretta Famila Schio on the glass

There was some stellar work on the boards during the season and it was Dorka Juhasz of Beretta Famila Schio who set the high tide mark with 17 rebounds against Mersin back in January.

Praha showed why they were so dominant on the glass with Brionna Jones featuring twice in the top four performances, but perhaps the most pivotal was Ezi Magbegor in joint second place. That's because her haul of 16 rebounds came in the incredible Semi-Final success against Fenerbahce Opet.

Costanza Verona pulled the strings for Beretta Famila Schio

Six different players managed to hit the double-digit landmark for passing the rock in a game this season, with the chart having co-leaders in the shape of Costanza Verona of Schio and Maite Cazorla of Praha.

The former handed out a fantastic 12 assists in a game against Praha, while Cazorla dished her 12 assists out in a matchup with Basket Landes. Meanwhile, Pauline Astier of Tango Bourges Basket was the third player who managed more than 10 in a game - dishing it up 11 times against Olympiacos.

Helena Pueyo of Casademont Zaragoza was one of two players to grab a super 7 steals in a game

The steals chart was perhaps the most interesting of all, with two ballers managing to snap up a stellar 7 steals in a game this season, then the next best being 16 occasions when players grabbed 5 steals in a contest.

Helena Pueyo enjoyed an impactful season for Casademont Zaragoza and grabbed 7 steals in a game against Villeneuve d'Ascq LM, with Pauline Astier of Bourges managing the feat in an outing against Mersin.
