When Geoffrey Soro turns in stellar performances, Ndejje often get rolling and win such games. The forward scored 23 points, picked 5 rebounds and handed out four helpers as Ndejje University Angels beat Falcons 82-73 Wednesday night at YMCA.
After being square in the opening quarter, Ndejje blew the game open in the second. Falcons (9-9) chipped away in the third to cut lead to 5 points going into the fourth quarter where they lost it in the waning minutes when getting possession through fouling didn’t pull off as Brian Odur was perfect from the line.
Brian Odur scored 14 points as Angels (12-5) posted a third straight win. Brian Sentongo and Jonah Otim contributed 12 points apiece.
Point guard, Abdulahi Ramadhani who tried to make things happen for Falcons scored team high 17 points against game high 11 turnovers. Big man, Philip Ameny matched team high points to go with game high 10 boards and hammered it down for the only real highlight of an insipid game.
