The Week 3 captains were determined by the top four point-earners on the Week 2 leaderboard. More information on the captain selection process is available here.

Guard Odyssey Sims, who finished with a league-best 1,966 leaderboard points in Week Two, will sit in the captain’s chair for the first time this season and pilot Gold Rush during Week Three. The league’s leading scorer with a 22.5 point per game average, Sims will be serving as a captain for the 14th time in her Athletes Unlimited career.

Forward Natasha Mack will make her debut as a captain after placing second in the Week Two standings with 1,751 leaderboard points. The Athletes Unlimited newcomer stands as the league’s leading rebounder through the first two weeks along with owning a league-best 20 blocked shots.

Guard Rebekah Gardner remains in the captain’s seat for Week Three, but will be leading Rhythm into the season’s penultimate weekly segment. Gardner, who accumulated 1,506 leaderboard points during Week Two, became the sixth captain to post a perfect 3-0 record in their debut after guiding Glow.

Guard Shey Peddy also makes her initial voyage into being a captain during Week Three as Eclipse’s leader. Peddy, the reigning AU Pro Basketball Defensive Player of the Year, closed Week Two with 1,473 leaderboard points and ranks third in the circuit with 25 assists over six games.
