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. [^11]
