KPA whip ANU to keep their perfect start in Premier League

Kenya National Basketball Women's Premier League defending champions Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) whipped newcomers in the league Africa Nazarene University (ANU) 78-26 at the Nyayo Gymnasium – Nairobi, in their third match of the season on Sunday.

With the Dockers seeking to defend the title, it was a one sided affair as ANU struggled to contain the unbeaten champions.

New recruit Jemima Knight Omondi was in class of her own scoring 18 points while Selina Okumu and Rachael Wandago dropped 18 points combined as the Dockers cruised to victory.

 Ann Wangui, Dersila Okode and Nicole Otieno were shining light for their team as they dropped 24 points combined with each scoring 8 points.

The visitors started on a high note winning first quarter 24-00 before another win of 15-09 in the second quarter, establishing a huge lead of 39-09 into the break.

KPA carried on with their impressive display in the third quarter scoring 18-06 before winding up with a 21-11 win in the last quarter with the game ending 78-26 at the final buzzer.

KPA's head coach Anthony Ojukwu was over the moon for the great display by his girls.

"Today we were much flexible and serious compared to yesterday's match. It's a learning process and we stuck to our game plan. We are in good shape and I can admit that preseason really worked well for us," Ojukwu said.

On his part, ANU's head coach Michael Oluoch blamed absence of key players for their defeat.

"Most of players aren't well, as you could see I only had six players today; despite that my girls really played to their level best. We hope next match they will be all fine," Olouch said.

In another match Zetech University hammered JKUAT University 76-24.

Zetech dominated all quarters winning 22-07, 20-07, 10-05 and 24-05 to take their victory home.
