Third

Santeros de Aguada is a Puerto Rican professional basketball team of the Baloncesto Superior Nacional. The team was originally based in Aguada, Puerto Rico, and although the team moved to Fajardo in 2021, even changing their name and re-branding to Cariduros de Fajardo with the move,^[1] the team was moved again to Aguada to start the 2024 season.^[2]

History

The team was founded in 1992 and participated in the Liga del Pueblo (now defunct Liga de Baloncesto Puertorriqueña) during seven seasons before folding in 1998 due to financial problems. In 2016 the team was refounded and joined the Baloncesto Superior Nacional for the 2016 season with the purchase of the Maratonistas de Coamo franchise and later relocation to Aguada, Puerto Rico.^[3]

The team reached the 2019 BSN Finals against the Leones de Ponce (basketball), winning the franchise's first and only national championship within the BSN league, four games to two, after winning a Game Five in which they trailed by 18 points with four minutes to go.
