Sarah Wasike dropped 13 points while Caroline Temka and Euphrasia Mukasa posted eight goals each for Sharks. \u201cIt was a good performance but we lacked gas a bit since this was our first game since the break.

In their second game, Wambua managed nine and Ambani eight in a tight 29-24 victory over Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (Jkuat).<\/p>\n

The Juja-based students were lifted by Annette Baraza, who had a game-high of 10 while Nelly Wangeni shot five. Diana Akinyi scored seven goals and Dorine Cherotich added five as Nairobi City County (NCC) beat Daystar University 31-28.<\/p>\n

Akinyi led the students, who lost their second game of the day, by registering 10 goals. They trailed 13-12 at half time. Rangers hit Amazon 41-26 as Peris Murumba shot seven goals while the losers\u2019 Valin Akoth emerged the top-scorer with 15.<\/p>\n
