The Baloncesto Superior Nacional Femenino handed down disciplinary sanctions after a brawl broke out at a Moca basketball match. [1] The violent incidents occurred on November 10 at the Coliseo Dr. Juan Sánchez Acevedo. [2] Moca's Natasha Alequín drew the harshest penalty - a suspension running through the rest of 2026 and into 2027, plus a $1,000 fine - for punching Caguas co-owner Omar Vargas without provocation. [3] Caguas coach Xavier Aponte was fined $100 for a technical foul and suspended one game with an additional $250 fine for a post-match dispute, [4] and the Explosivas franchise was fined $2,000 for security deficiencies during the game. [5] On November 12, after a reconsideration request filed by Moca players, the league softened parts of its own ruling. [6] Sonia Román's one-game suspension and $150 fine for pushing Vargas were eliminated entirely, [7] and Cierra Burdick's suspension was cut from two matches to one, with her fine reduced from $650 to $500. [8] The rest holds: the Coliseo Dr. Juan Sánchez Acevedo stays closed for the rest of the 2026 season and Moca's first three home games of 2027, [9] Alequín's full suspension and $1,000 fine were left unchanged, [10] and the BSNF's investigation into additional brawl-related incidents continues.
