The All Star Game was played last Sunday. Due to the odd number of teams, a simple geographical split no longer made sense so a team featuring the bulk of the national team faced off against other players in the league, including imports. Frances Lee Flores was named MVP as she hit a key basket for the national team in their 69-64 win. DeSanta Franklin-Jordan was the MVP of the Future Stars Game, where San Sebastian beat a group of newcomers from other teams 64-60. Daneichka Canales of Carolina won the Skills Challenge and Mari Placido of Santurce won the 3 Point Contest while the team of Ali Gibson, Tayra Melendez, and Whitney Bays from Carolina won the Shooting Stars contest.
The regular season resumed on Tuesday. Annysa Sanchez and Whitney Jones teamed up to lead Yauco past Dayshalee Salaman and Yauco 95-83. Daneichka Canales and Carolina were pushed by Pamela Rosado and Manati, but stayed undefeated with a 71-68 win. No games were played on Wednesday, then Chanita Jordan and Whitney Jones led Yauco past Pamela Rosado and Manati on Thursday. Whitney Bays helped Carolina stay undefeated with an 80-67 win over Santurce. Jordan Reynolds had a good game for San Sebastian, but they still could not get their first win, losing to Santurce 84-64. Saturday’s game was quite exciting as Kathryn Westbeld and Manati needed overtime to beat Yauco 67-66. On Sunday, Anushka Maldonado and San Sebastian found themselves in an unexpected position to pick up their first win, giving Nicci Gilday and Carolina everything they could handle before the league leaders could escape 68-65 and maintain their perfect record.
