Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Saturday<\/p>\n

Rwanda 70-78 Uganda<\/p>\n

Rwanda concluded their FIBA Women\u2019s Afrobasket Zone V Qualifiers campaign on a disappointing note as defeat against Uganda on Saturday extended their winless streak to four games after failing to register a single victory in the qualifiers.<\/p>\n

Cheikh Sarr\u2019s team was exclusively composed of local players, as the Rwanda Basketball Federation (Ferwaba) decided to give them a chance, since Rwanda was not fighting for qualification given that they have an automatic ticket as hosts of the finals that will take place from late July to early August.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, February 18, Rwanda lost its final game 70-78 against Uganda, making it the fourth loss in a row, having been earlier defeated by Kenya, South Sudan and Egypt.<\/p>\n

During the Uganda game, Rwanda\u2019s Assouma Uwizeye scored a team-high 19 points 11 rebounds while Odile Tetero contributed 17 points and Marie Imanizabayo chipped in with 15 points but their contribution was not enough to lift Rwanda to a victory only to end the campaign disappointed.<\/p>\n

On the Ugandan side, Brenda Ekone and Jannon Otto finished with a game-high 22 points each, while teammate Hope Akello registered a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds.<\/p>\n

Rwanda lost to South Sudan 40-54 in their opening game, on February 15 and went on to lose their second game against Kenya 58-69 the following day before Egypt put Sarr\u2019s ladies on the sword with a 102-52 heavy victory on February 17<\/p>\n

The final tournament of the Women\u2019s Afrobasket is slated from July 26 to August 6 and Sarr has plenty of lessons to learn if his side is to challenge for the title.<\/p>\n
