The JKL Lady Dolphins became the first team to score 100+ points in back-to-back games after thumping Angels 106-35 on Wednesday 30th at Lugogo.

This was the first game after their short trip to Rwanda for the Gisembe Memorial Tournament, where they were runners up having fallen to REG in the finals.

They knew they had to make a statement, and Angels were the victim.

The first quarter ended 23-10 but things went ‘south’ for Angels in the second.

They were limited to just 4 points while JKL scored 31 to make it 54-14 at halftime.

The Lady Dolphins had 78 points at the end of the third quarter and they knew they had enough to reach the century mark.

15 of the 28 points for JKL in the fourth quarter were points from turnovers and they managed to finish the game with a resounding 106 points to 35.
