JUNCOS, Puerto Rico, March 3, 2015 – The Natives defeated the Imported 3-1 (31-29, 25-21, 16-25, 25-19) in the All-Star Game of the Puerto Rican Women’s Superior League in front of a full house at Rafael Amalbert Gymnasium on Monday night.

 

It was the third victory for the Natives in the ten-year history of the event.

Behind British Savana Leaf and American Kristy Jaeckel, the Imported took the third set only to see the Natives dominating the fourth set with the offense led by Stephanie Enright and Yarimar Rosa.

 

Rosa, who led the winners with 19 points, was selected the game’s Most Valuable Player. Karina Ocasio and Enright contributed 17 and 14 points, respectively, in the victory.

 

Leaf finished with 14 points for the defeated side.
