Occurrences

Assistant coach Alfrancis Chua was appointed as the new head coach of Sta.Lucia at the start of the season, Chua replaces Norman Black, whose contract wasn't renewed. [1]

In the Reinforced Conference, import Nate James led the Realtors to five wins in eight games he played until an injury forces Sta.Lucia to bring back Damian Owens. [2] Starting the best-of-three quarterfinal series against Alaska, the Realtors tapped former Red Bull import Ray Tutt as Owens' replacement when Owens himself is nursing a leg injury. [3]
