Coach Nicholas Natuhereza remains optimistic about UCU’s chances of extending the series to a deciding Game 7, set for Wednesday, September 25, if they win on Sunday. The break, he believes, has given his team the mental reset they needed.
With this win, the Lady Canons are just two games away from clinching the championship, while the Dolphins face a must-win situation in Game Three on Sunday to keep their title defence hopes alive.
UCU’s dominance on the boards, out-rebounding JKL 56-49, was crucial, especially as the Lady Dolphins mounted a late surge in the game. Despite the Dolphins’ efforts, the Lady Cats maintained their lead and secured the win.
However, the second half proved challenging for the Lady Canons as their performance dipped, allowing the Rangers to claw back into the game.
