Cangrejeras edged Caguas in Santurce 75-72. Santurce looked well-organized offensively handing out 23 assists. It was a great evening for international guard Brianna Jones (177-1997, college: Georgetown) who led her team to a victory scoring 17 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists. American guard Kamaria McDaniel (178-1999, college: Michigan St.) helped adding 19 points and 6 assists. The best for the losing side was American forward Alisia Jenkins (186-1994, college: S.Florida) with a double-double by scoring 18 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Caguas will play next round against Hatillo trying to get back on the winning streak.
