Led by Aziidah Nabayunga's outstanding double-double, the UCU Lady Canons secured another convincing victory in the National Basketball League, defeating the Nkumba Lady Marines 59-33.
Nabayunga, one of the most impressive players in the league this season, contributed 16 points and 12 rebounds to the defending champions' cause, showcasing her all-around skills and dominance in the paint.
The Lady Canons also received critical contributions from Tracy Namugosa and Bridget Aber, who each scored 12 points and provided the offensive punch needed to secure the win.
However, it was the team's brilliant defence that set the tone for the game, as they limited the Lady Marines to a dismal 25% shooting from the field, forcing single digits in three of the four quarters.
UCU Lady Canons have relied heavily on their defence and interior presence this season, and this game was no exception.
They scored 28 points in the paint and demonstrated excellent team chemistry and execution on both courts ends.
The victory extends their winning streak to six games and boosts their confidence and momentum heading into the following fixtures.
The defending champions will face Nabisunsa Girls Basketball Club in their next game, aiming to continue their impressive run and consolidate their position among the top two teams in the standings.
Meanwhile, the winless Lady Marines will need to regroup and improve quickly to avoid relegation, as they face a tough challenge against the KCCA Leopards in their next outing.
Overall, the UCU Lady Canons showcased their championship pedigree and depth, while the Lady Marines struggled to keep up with their intensity and efficiency.
The game was a testament to the quality and competitiveness of the National Basketball League and a reminder that every game matters in the race for the title and survival.
