SAN SALVADOR (El Salvador) – The fourth day of action in the Centrobasket tournament saw Puerto Rico punch their ticket to the 2021 Americup, players excelling on both sides of the court with shooting efficiency and rebounding, and all-around drive from teams no matter their standings.

Isalys Quiñones (PUR)

Puerto Rico’s 40-point victory helped the team qualify for the 2021 AmeriCup, with Quiñones contributing a double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds.

Against Dominican Republic, Villalobos had 13 points and 14 rebounds, including 10 defesnive rebounds, over triple the amount of any of her teammates. At just 19 years old, Villalobos also tied for first on the team in blocked shots as well as recording 2 assists for El Salvador in the game.

Yohanna Morton (DOM)
