The KIU Rangers made it 2 wins in a row after putting Magic Stormers to the sword in a 19 point game on Wednesday 7th.

The Rangers came into the game having won their season opener against the JT Lady Jaguars 61:57 in overtime, on opening day of the season.

Magic Stormers lost their first game of the season against Miracle Ravens 53:61 and they sought to pick up the pieces against the 2023 finalists.

Troubles for Magic Stormers were mainly on ball handling and protection as they registered 10 turnovers in the first quarter.

Mary Amaniyo was on fire punishing Magic and she scored (12 pts, 10 rebs, 3 asts, 3 stl and 1 blk) a double double in the first quarter.

She dominated and her presence on the court was felt more so in the first half. She finished the game with 15 pts, 14, reb, 4 ast, 3 stl, 1 blk, a second successive double double of the season.

Ines Kanyamuneza ran the show in the second half (18 points), scoring 3 huge 3-point shots and a plethora of lay ups.

Daphine Adong had a spectacle of a game, strongly attacking the defense with so much pace and it is no wonder she finished with a game high 23 points.

She also drew 11 fouls and was sent to the Free Throw line a whooping 19 times, though she was unable to punish, scoring just 8 of them.
