Santurce Rallies at the Clemente and Preserves

Its Undefeated Record in the LVSF

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, February 15, 2026. – Sunday’s matchday in the Women’s Superior Volleyball League (LVSF) saw the Cangrejeras de Santurce successfully defend their unbeaten record, the Leonas de Ponce sweeping the Pinkin of Corozal in straight sets, and the Atenienses de Manatí splitting points in a dramatic fifth set against the Valencianas de Juncos to close out the fifth week of action.

At Roberto Clemente Coliseum, the Criollas de Caguas could not hold onto a 2-0 sets lead nor a 23-20 advantage in the third, ultimately falling in five sets to the Santurce Crabbers.

Diana Reyes scored effectively through the middle to give the Criollas a 23-20 lead, but Caguas’ offense stalled there. Santurce responded with a 5-0 run that included a zone-two attack by Tamara Otene, two outside hits by Helena Grozer from zone four, a back-row attack error by Génesis Collazo, and a block on Valeria Flores to close the set.

In the fifth set, Santurce opened with a commanding 4-0 run, all on blocks, to seize decisive control. They reached match point at 14-9 with an outside attack by Otene and sealed the 15-11 victory after a Jenaisya Moore attack went out of bounds.

Set scores for Santurce’s win were 22-25, 21-25, 25-23, 25-14, 15-11.

The Cangrejeras earned two points to improve to 9-0 with 24 total points, while the Criollas collected one point to remain in second place at 7-5 with 22 points.

Santurce’s offense was led by Helena Grozer (23 points), Tamara Otene (21), Andrea Rangel (17), Neira Ortiz (14), and Shirley Florian (10). For Caguas, Génesis Collazo led all scorers with 25 points, followed by Jenaisya Moore (22) and Valeria Flores (11).
