Hopefully she continues and scores over 500 goals in her career,\u201d Nabweteme said.<\/p>\n<p>Nassuna replied to the post-Nabweteme questions with 26 goals and a third consecutive league trophy before making a move east to Uganda Christian University (UCU) Lady Cardinals, where she proved she was more than just about being in a comfortable environment by winning the league in her second season there. Her UCU career is now 42 goals rich but the latest in a 2-1 loss away to Kampala Queens (KQ) at Islamic University in Uganda (IUIU), Kabojja on Wednesday was the most celebrated.<\/p>\n<p><b>Hungry for more<\/b><\/p>\n<p>A thunderous one-minute standing ovation from opponents, teammates and fans across the divide in Kabojja greeted the signature long range effort that would on another day have left KQ keeper Prima Mugidde red faced. Here, she had to applaud.<\/p>\n<p>Nassuna pulled up her shirt to reveal one under inscribed with \u201cIt Has Been Allah From Day One. 100 Goals Done and Dusted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The tributes on social media came from all and sundry. From Fufa president Moses Magogo to her coaches in Kawempe to fellow Crested Cranes teammates, sports journalists, fans and strangers. She will be going through them forever.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am the happiest person today that finally this record has been achieved.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI definitely wanted it but my fans wanted it more and always asked when it will be achieved.<\/p>\n<p>Here we are now. However, I have never set out to stop at 100 goals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am still hungry for more,\u201d Nassuna, who has scored nine goals in the 2022 season so far and trails defending top scorer Fazila Ikwaput by four goals, said.<\/p>\n<p>As night follows day, this journey that started on February 15, 2015 with a brace in a 7-0 win over Kakira Women will definitely be stretched further.
