The JT Lady Jaguars did one of the most unexpected things in the playoffs as they swept the KCCA Leopards in the Quarterfinals.

Having lost game one, the KCCA Leopards had to win game 2 and all their focus was on getting the job done to in order to extend their season.

After the first half, all seemed to be going according to plan. The Leopards led the game 33:19 and they were on course to securing the win.

In the third quarter, the game turned on its hard. The Leopards offense became very poor and the Lady Jaguars capitalized greatly.

In the final 7 minutes of the quarter, KCCA scored just 4 points while the Lady Jaguars scored 18 and the game was within 3 points as the quarter winded up.

When the Lady Jaguars took the lead 3:30 minutes into the quarter, they never relinquished it and despite the game being very close, the KCCA Leopards never got back ahead and they lost the game 53:49.
