Holders UCU Canons quickly buried Friday’s loss to rivals A-1 Challenge by routing Lady Bucks 102-29 at Lugogo Indoor Stadium on Sunday.

It was clearly a walk in the park for coach Geoff Omondi’s side as they ran rings around Bucks throughout the game, taking all quarters in convincingly. UCU scored 38-8, 28-6, 21-9 and 21-6 respectively.

Frances Nabuloli and Lorraine Akinyi continued their rich vein of form with 29 and 23 points respectively thus ensuring that 2008 MVP Flavia Oketcho, who quit UCU for KCC Leopards, is not missed.
