Pastora de los Llanos

The Pastora de los Llanos were aligned in the Western Division as a replacement for the departed Pastora de Occidente, which were based in Cabimas.

In its 11 seasons, Pastora de los Llanos advanced 7 times to the playoffs, but never made it into finals.

Despite the initial success, the team would perform poorly in the next season where even they lost a game that was repeated against Magallanes because the latter protested the roster the team presented.

At the next season they lost the playoff series while in 2002, the team had the worst record of the cancelled 2002-03 season; 12 wins over 27 losses in 39 games played after 1 December.

At the 2003-04 season they led the Western Division but ended again knocked out in playoffs.
