NARANJITO, Puerto Rico, January 22, 2025.- In the only scheduled match of the Women’s Superior Volleyball League (LVSF) this Wednesday, the Changas de Naranjito triumphed on their opening night over the defending champion, the Cangrejeras de Santurce, in four sets (25-21, 25-17, 26-28, 26-24).
With the victory under the guidance of Jamille Torres, the former head coach of the Cangrejeras last season, the Changas secured all three points available from the match, reaching a record of 1-1 and three points. Meanwhile, Santurce sits at 0-1 with no points.
After winning the first two sets, the Cangrejeras pushed to their limit in the third set. Taking advantage of a misdirected back row attack from Naranjito and a successful spike down zone four, they extended the match to an additional set.
In the fourth set, when it seemed Santurce would force a tiebreaker by securing a 23-20 lead, Naranjito adjusted their serve strategy and scored four consecutive points to reach match point first.
The set saw another tie before Santurce committed a serving error, paving the way for American reinforcement Adana Rollins to seal the victory for Naranjito with a decisive attack through zone four.
The Changas had three players in double digits: Adana Rollins with 25 points (21 kills, 2 blocks, and 2 aces), Taylor Trammel with 12 points, and Genesis Collazo with 11 points.
For Santurce, Andrea Rangel and Helena Grozer led with 19 points each, followed by Neira Ortiz with 13 points and Gina Prososki with 10 points.
The Changas outperformed the Cangrejeras in aces (4-3) and assists (26-14). However, Santurce led in kills (56-53), blocks (10-8), digs (97-92), and receptions (49-46).
