LVSF (Puerto Rico) 2015

  • LVSF starts january 15!


    There are once again 8 teams. Pinkin de Corozal and Orientales de Humacao won't play because they miss money. Pinkin de Corozal was inactive already in 2014 (with Vaqueras de Bayamon). Orientales de Humacao won't play for the first time (but it's still sad considering the franchise exists since 2012, when Gigantes de Carolina moved to Humacao, and played just in 2013 and 2014). Vaqueras de Bayamon moved to Naranjito and now we have Changas de Naranjito. Considering the first signs for refuerzos (foreigners), this is gonna be the best LVSF ever.


    Changas de Naranjito ( Kristy Jaeckel - OH + Taylor Simpson - OH)
    Criollas de Caguas ( Jessica Jones - MB + Dana Cranston - OH)
    Gigantes de Carolina ( Rachael Kidder - OH + Alaina Bergsma - OP)
    Indias de Mayaguez ( McKenzie Adams - OH + Lauren Cook - S)
    Lancheras de Catano ( Olena Ustymenko OH/OP)
    Leonas de Ponce ( Chaniel Nelson - OP + Emily Brown - OH/OP)
    Mets de Guaynabo
    Valencianas de Juncos ( Elizabeth McMahon - OP + Lilla Frederick - OH)


    IMHO:


    -Indias de Mayaguez are the favourite team for the title
    -Criollas de Caguas are the closest one to Mayaguez and could be the dark horse once Karina Ocasio joined the team
    -Leonas de Ponce should be in play-offs and, if their foreigners will have a good impact, they may be in finals again
    -Valencianas de Juncos and Gigantes de Carolina will play for the last sport in semifinals
    -Lancheras de Catano may be a huge surprise with a second foreign player
    -Changas de Naranjito have really young team with few strong players, no chaches for play-offs

  • Ocasio is back in Caguas. Criollas won 3-1 over Gigantes. Karina already best scorer for her team.


    Juncos took the first win in a very convincing way over Ponce.


    Jessica Jones is already leading in blocking. :super:

  • Caguas destroyed Mayaguez 3-0! Jones is blocking the world. Leaf her her debut as best scorer. Nogueras' distribution was pretty good, almost everyone scored 10+ points in 3 sets. On the other side Willoughby again not impressive.


    Changas de Naranjito took the first victory of its history. 3-2 over Catano. Jaeckel 37 points! :super: On the other side Tellez with 20 points as MB is impressive, but she played like this the whole last season. Catano misses the second foreign player.


    Carolina won 3-2 over Ponce. It was a really close match. Ponce is really strong team in my opinion. Carolina Surpised me. I expected a big fight but Leonas as winners.

  • Mayaguez outclassed Juncos 3-0. Willoughby didn't play after her first poor performances. She left her place on court to Keila Rodriguez, who was the best scorer of the match. Rodriguez is a young prospect, she played in LVSF with Guaynabo last season and showed her talent. Indias are lucky having such a good back up like her or Remy McBain. Anyway when Kim will be on her best shape Mayaguez will be stronger than ever. I still think Mayaguez and Cagaus will go straight to the final.

  • Easy win for Ponce over Naranjito. Everyone did a good job in Ponce, while in Naranjito Kristy Jaeckel was leader and almost alone, as usual. Just Gloriana Garcia helped her.


    Caguas left a set in Catano. Catano has usual troubles. Ustymenko didn't play well. Ferrer on the other side keeps scoring a lot. Ocasio and Leaf as leaders for Caguas. Enright did her usual good job. Jessica Jones always strong blocker and scoring like and outside hitter.

  • Easy win for Juncos over Carolina. Rosa and McMahon were leader in their team. And the others helped them. For Carolina good game by Velez and the foreigners, but the others (except the libero) played bad.


    Catano wasn't satisfied with Ortega's performances, so they signed Caitlyn Donahue, who will be their second foreign player. Ortega was sent to Naranjito.
