Strathmore University Swords bounced back from Saturday’s defeat to edge out Eldonets 67-64 in a Kenya Basketball Federation (KBF) Women’s Premier League match played at United States International University of Africa (USIU-A) grounds on Sunday.
A solid start won the match for the students who had lost to Stanbic Aces. Swords did the heavy work in the first half forcing Eldonets to play catch up throughout the match. Keen not to suffer a second loss in one weekend, Swords played with zeal from the start to win the first quarter 18-8 and take a 10-point lead.
They remained dominant in the second even as Eldonets who had defeated the University of Nairobi Dynamites on Saturday fought tooth and nail to reduce the point gap. However, Strathmore thwarted their effort with a 20-14 win in the second quarter for a 38-22 advantage at the breather.
