The UCU Lady Doves won a thrilling 3-2 match against the Ndejje Elites. After some tight sets (22-25, 30-28, 26-28, 25-15), they sealed the win with a 15-12 victory in the final set.

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.
