In a highly anticipated match-up between two top teams in the National Basketball League, the KIU Rangers pulled off a stunning upset, 58-53 against the table-topping JT Lady Jaguars at the YMCA court in Wandegeya on Wednesday night.
The Rangers, under the interim leadership of Julius Lutwama, executed a well-crafted game plan that left the Lady Jaguars scratching their heads.
From the opening tip, it was clear that the Rangers would not be intimidated by their opponents' impressive winning streak.
Led by the dynamic duo of Diana Letaru and Ines Kanyamunza, the Rangers battled tooth and nail with the table-topping Lady Jaguars in a closely contested encounter through each quarter.
The Lady Jaguars, who came into the game with confidence after winning six straight, struggled to get into a rhythm against the Rangers' stifling defence.
The Rangers took advantage of their opponents' sloppiness with the ball and scored an impressive 22 points off the transition.
Despite rallying back in the third quarter from a deficit, the Lady Jaguars ultimately fell short in the fourth quarter, losing by a score of 58-53.
Diana Letaru and Ines Kanyamunza were the stars of the show for the Rangers, each scoring 16 points and leading their team to a well-deserved victory.
On the other side of the court, Sarah Ageno put in a valiant effort for the Lady Jaguars, scoring an impressive 18 points and grabbing 14 rebounds.
The victory for the Rangers was not only an important one for their playoff hopes, but it also proved that they are a team to be reckoned with in the National Basketball League.
The win marked their third consecutive victory and gave them confidence heading into their next league fixture against Nabisunsa Girls Basketball Club.
The defeat was a bitter pill to swallow for the Lady Jaguars, as they suffered only their second loss of the season.
However, they will have little time to dwell on the defeat as they face the title-chasing Lady Dolphins in what promises to be a mouth-watering clash on Friday.
In summary, the KIU Rangers delivered an outstanding performance to stun the JT Lady Jaguars.
With their impressive victory, the Rangers showed that they are a team on the rise and will be a force to be reckoned with as the season progresses.
