SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, March 19, 2024. - The Santurce Cangrejeras (19-5) concluded their participation in the regular series of the Women’s Superior Volleyball League (LVSF) with their tenth consecutive victory and a direct ticket to the semifinals.

Santurce defeated Naranjito Changas (8-16), who ended their four consecutive winning streak, but not their qualification for the 2024 postseason.

The sets of the victory for Santurce were 25-14, 25-16, and 25-18 at the Roberto Clemente Coliseum in Hato Rey.

Cangrejeras earned three points, totaling 58 points to finish the regular season as absolute leaders in the standings.

The action in women’s volleyball continues on Tuesday, March 19, with the last match of the LVSF regular series when the two-time champions Pinkin de Corozal host the Valencianas de Juncos at 8:00 p.m. at the José “Pepín Cestero” court in Bayamón. This match will decide the second position and the direct pass to the semifinals between Manatí and Corozal.

Manatí has already finished their regular series matches. Corozal needs to win in three or four sets against Juncos to earn three points and tie 39 points with Manatí and a record of 14-10; but the champions would remain in second place because they won the series 3-1 against the Atenienses. If Corozal wins in five sets or loses, Manatí retains the second position and the direct pass to the semifinals.
