Rivals APR and Rwanda Energy Group (REG) women basketball clubs are again set to lock horns in the women’s basketball league finals which commence on Friday, October 4 at Petit Stade.
In 2023, APR lifted the championship after edging REG 62-61 in Game 5 to win the best-of-seven finals series 4-1.
This season, REG reached the finals after sweeping Kepler 3-0 in the best of five semi-finals, while APR rejoined their old foes after brushed Groupe Scolaire Marie Reine de Rwaza aside in a similar win record.
Captain Charlotte Umugwaneza scored a game high 19 points and made 20 rebounds to help the military side beat Marie Reine 86-45 in Game 3 to complete a clean sweep on Wednesday night.
After the game, Umugwaneza said that ‘every game matters’ and called on her teammates to stay focused ahead of the finals.
“Every game matters in the series, and a good start matters. We are going into Game 1 aiming for a positive beginning. We beat REG in last year’s finals, and we can do it again,” she said.
“We just need to have a winning mentality and mean serious business like we did during the 2023/24 season,” she added.
