Regular Season Round 9: Ponce - Arecibo 116-108

Date: April 24, 2026
Very important is a road loss of second ranked Capitanes (8-4) against fifth ranked Leones (6-8) on Friday night. Visiting Capitanes were defeated by Leones in a tough game in Ponce 108-116. They made 29-of-37 charity shots (78.4 percent) during the game, while Arecibo only scored ten points from the stripe. Ponce players were unselfish on offense dishing 25 assists. Arecibo was plagued by 25 personal fouls down the stretch. It was a good game for the former international power forward Jordan Murphy (200-1997, college: Minnesota) who led his team to a victory with 31 points and 6 rebounds. American guard Jalen Crutcher (187-1999, college: Dayton) contributed with a double-double by scoring 21 points and 11 assists for the winners. Leones' coach Carlos Rivera allowed to play the deep bench players saving starting five for next games. Australian forward Jack McVeigh (203-1996, college: Nebraska) answered with 23 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists and international forward RJ Melendez (201-2002, college: MSU) added 27 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists in the effort for Arecibo. Both teams had five players each who scored in double figures. Ponce maintains fifth place with 6-8 record. Arecibo at the other side keeps the second position with four games lost. Ponce will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Arecibo will play at home against Caguas and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
