The USIU Women produced a commanding performance to secure a 66–45 victory over the UON Dynamites Women in the Kenya Women’s Premier League on 26 July 2026. The match, held at a neutral venue, saw the home side dominate from the opening tip-off, establishing a lead they never relinquished.

Match Overview

USIU’s defensive intensity set the tone early, forcing the Dynamites into turnovers and rushed shots. By the end of the first quarter, the home team had built a 10-point cushion, and they extended that advantage to 18 by halftime. The Dynamites struggled to find rhythm against USIU’s full-court press, managing only 18 points in the first half.

The second half offered little respite for the visitors. USIU continued to control the boards, limiting second-chance opportunities for UON. Although the Dynamites showed brief signs of a comeback in the third quarter, cutting the deficit to 14, USIU responded with a 10–2 run to restore order. The final quarter was played at a slower pace, with USIU managing the clock effectively to seal the 21-point win.

Key Moments

• First quarter surge: USIU opened with a 12–2 run, forcing an early timeout from the Dynamites’ coaching staff.
• Halftime margin: A buzzer-beating three-pointer from USIU’s guard sent the teams to the locker rooms with the score at 38–20.
• Third-quarter response: UON’s forwards combined for eight quick points, trimming the gap to 14 before USIU regained control.

Standout Players

USIU’s backcourt duo was instrumental, with the starting guard contributing 18 points and five assists, while the center added a double-double of 14 points and 12 rebounds. For the Dynamites, the forward who scored 12 points and grabbed eight boards was a lone bright spot, battling tirelessly against a taller opponent. The team’s lack of consistent shooting—just 32% from the field—ultimately proved their undoing.

Table and Season Impact

The victory strengthens USIU Women’s position in the upper half of the Kenya Women’s Premier League standings, maintaining their push for playoff qualification. The UON Dynamites, meanwhile, face an uphill battle to climb out of the lower tier, having now lost four of their last five fixtures. With this result, USIU proved they are a serious contender, capable of shutting down opponents with disciplined defense and efficient offense.
