Sol de America still maintains its place in the top 4 of the standings, even despite this loss. 5 lost games are too many considering they did not win any game. Vairoletto is a newcomer at Sol de America and quickly became one of team's most reliable players. He belongs to the best scorers in the league with 17.5ppg (#6). He also registered 4.5 boards per game.
