It’s no surprise the top captains on the leaderboard following Week 1 were members of Team Williams and Team Sims. Williams’ squad went undefeated in the first week of competition, picking up 850 win points, while Sims’ team swept the finale’s win points (and 700 across the week) to put two players into the top four.

Odyssey Sims, who enters Week 2 No. 1 on the leaderboard with 1,581 points, is the league’s leading scorer with 71 points in the first week of competition. She also leads in assists (38).

In the No. 2 spot is Isabelle Harrison with 1,518 points. Harrison tallied a career-high 685 leaderboard points in Sunday’s matinee to climb into the top four.

NaLyssa Smith (1,405) and Naz Hillmon (1,380) will be first-time captain’s this week at No. 3 and No. 4 on the leaderboard, respectively. Smith has dominated the rebound-game, grabbing 38 rebounds in the first week behind rebound-leader Crystal Bradford (40). Hillmon ranks third in rebounds with 25.
