Uganda Christian University (UCU) volleyball teams delivered standout performances in the 2024/25 National Volleyball League on Independence Day at the MTN Arena, Lugogo.
Both the UCU Lady Doves and UCU Doves showed their strength in high-stakes encounters, with the men’s team taking on the reigning National Club Championship (NCC) champions Nemo Stars in a thrilling match.
The UCU Doves faced a formidable Nemostars side, fresh off their 2024 NCC title, in what proved to be a tense and hard-fought contest.
Nemostars initially dominated, winning the first set 25-18, but UCU rallied back, turning the game around with impressive determination and tactical plays. The Doves clawed their way to win the next three sets 25-18, 25-22, and 25-23, securing an outstanding 3-1 victory.
The match was packed with intense rallies, with both teams vying for a win in front of a charged crowd.
“This win means a lot, and getting the 3 points from a team like Nemostars, a big team, is a plus for us. As we prepare for the next game against Sky, we need to stay focused and aim for another 3 points to boost our position on the table.” Said Doves Captain Mark Omara
Earlier in the day, the UCU Lady Doves continued their perfect run in the women’s Serie A with a commanding 3-0 sweep against Kampala Amature Volleyball Club (KAVC) Ladies.
