Jenna Fife (Rangers): Made amends by saving Hibs' second penalty. If that goes in it's probably three points dropped but her save on 85 minutes kept the opportunity for Rangers to grab a late point.
Claire Docherty (Partick Thistle): Was solid in defence for Thistle in the 2-0 win over Queen's Park. Helped build up patient play from the back too.
Kate Fraser (Spartans): Her head didn't go down when Celtic took an early lead, and she went on to produce an excellent showing at the back in Spartans' narrow defeat. She made some vital interceptions and cleared dangerous balls well.
Siobhan Hunter (Hibs): The defender put in a tremendous shift and, although there was late heartbreak as Rangers scored an injury-time equaliser, her performance until then can't be underestimated as she kept the visitors at bay for much of the match.
Lisa Evans (Glasgow City): Got City off the mark in the 13-0 thrashing of Dundee United with her first goal since joining the club. Defensively she may not have been troubled but she played a part in City's second with an assist.
Imogen Longcake (Partick Thistle): Came on a sub just before the hour and made a significant impact. Her two assists were key to Thistle picking up all three points.
Aleigh Gambone (Glasgow City): With United down to 10 players, City ran riot and Gambone was right in the thick of it. Showed great composure for her opening goal, and set up three others.
Ciara Grant (Hibs): Performed well in the middle of the park and battled defensively and offensively.
Emily Whelan (Glasgow City): Also enjoyed having the run of things with City. A hat-trick and an assist, her relentless play was evident.
Rio Hardy (Rangers): Got in a great position to ensure she was able to pounce on the rebound to score a vital equaliser. Fast becoming a super sub for Rangers - without her goals in their last two games they would have dropped more points.
Bayley Hutchison (Hearts): Was unlucky to miss out on the previous team of the week, but there's no doubt about her place this time. The striker's goal on 75 minutes ended a frustrating afternoon for herself and Hearts. She then added a second minutes later, effectively sealing the win over Montrose.
