He was duly assisted in the mission by Pharez Adala on 14 points with five rebounds and two assists to his name. On his part, David Ochieng weighed in with nine points as the University side did just enough offensively and defensively to shut down its counterparts in the classy encounter.

Titans fought well and matched their opponents ball to bal. Ragen Thomas on 16 points was their top scorer with his good show resulting into five rebounds and two assists.

Thomas was exceptional as he was often in the right place at the right time and constantly caused trouble to his markers.

The other star player was Collins Ocholla who contributed 11 baskets of his own plus offering eight rebounds at the ring. Keith Okolla was on 13 points as Titans gave their opponents a good push with the game swinging from one end to the other.

In another match, Equity Hawks clawed JKUAT-Lynx 85-23 in the Ladie in what was a one sided affair. Betty Kananu had 18 points and Janet Otieno 10 as they led a serious onslaught against their out of sorts opponents. The Hawks defense was solid as it thwarted attacks after another.
