Once Caldas currently 5-1 , second place in the standings added the american center Jacob "Jake" Blankenship (2,07 C- Southeastern NCAA3) to fill the hole in the middle after having fired Christopher Moore.

In the team's last game Dorsey had a remarkable 87.5% from 2-point range and got three three-pointers out of 6 attempts. He just recently signed at Bambuqueros, being already a very valuable addition to the team. Dakota Wesleyan University graduate has very impressive stats this year.

Academia managed to keep the same 5th spot in the standings. 12 lost games are too many comparing to just five victories Academia managed to get this Second Stage.
