KCCA Leopards are set to face reigning champions UCU Lady Canons in what is expected to be a thrilling game on Good Friday at the MTN Lugogo Arena in the National Basketball League.
The Leopards, who have made an impressive start to the season with wins against the Miracle Ravens(55-44) and JKL Lady Dolphins(63-58), will aim to maintain their perfect record under new head coach Miller Fitzgerald.
Ruth Atuheire, who averages 15 points per game, will be looking to continue her excellent form, while Peace Nakirijja, the league's most efficient shooter, will be hoping to lead the team to victory and make it three in a row.
The Lady Canons, on the other hand, have had an inconsistent start to the season, winning two and losing two of their first four games.
Defeats against fellow title contenders JKL Lady Jaguars(67-51) and JT Lady Jaguars(57-53) have given their rivals a psychological advantage.
However, the champions will be looking to build momentum and improve their chemistry to defend their crown successfully.
Tracy Namugosa has emerged as the potential 'next big thing' for the Lady Canons, leading the league in steals(18), assists(11), and scoring the most points for her side this year(40).
Her energy and all-around contribution on the court will be essential as she looks to inspire her team to victory and improve their record to 3-2. In the recent head-to-head meetings, the Lady Canons have won two of the last three encounters, with the champions prevailing 63-51 in their previous matchup.
Both teams prioritize moving the ball around, with the Lady Canons averaging 13 assists per game compared to the Leopards' 12, indicating that teamwork will be vital in unlocking their offences.
As the Lady Canons look to halt the Leopards' unbeaten run, this game promises to be a thrilling encounter between two competitive teams in the National Basketball League.
