SCHC striker Jip Dicke has been joined at the head of the top scorers list by Frédérique Matla. The Den Bosch striker was on an old-fashioned roll in the home match against HGC (5-0), accounting for three of the five Bossche goals, hat-trick number 21 in her premier league career. Matla is now on 14 goals, as many as Dicke who scored once against Rotterdam (1-3 win) away from home.
In the broad subtop of the top shooters' standings, Amsterdam attacker Fay van der Elst also finally scored again. With her first goal since 2 November last year - and the seventh this season - she increased her total in premier league history to 75: twenty on behalf of HDM and now 55 in Amsterdam's service.

Tulp Hoofdklasse Men
After 14 match rounds, the Tulp Hoofdklasse Men has a new top scorer: Joep Troost. The Pinoké striker scored twice in the away match against Hurley, which the Stekneuzen won 8-1. Troost now has seventeen goals, one more than Boris Burkhardt (Amsterdam) and Struan Walker (Oranje-Rood).
Against Hurley, Troost had even more reason to smile. His second goal of the afternoon marked his fiftieth goal in the Hoofdklasse. He made three for Almere and now stands at 47 goals in service of Pinoké. Against Hurley, Troost also prepared two goals for teammates. That brought his number of assists this season to six. So the striker was already directly involved in 23 goals, more than any other player. So he is also currently the MVP (Most Valuable Player) of the Hoofdklasse.
