As part of their preparations for the FIBA Zone Afrobasket qualifiers, the Uganda national women’s basketball team played a friendly game today against Westmont Warriors, the ladies basketball team of Westmont College from the United States of America.
Warriors were quite a challenge for Gazelles who still had enough within them to seal off a 4point win(80-76).
Fans who made it to Lugogo Arena were treated to a bargain of a free ticket that came with watching Gazelles new Captain Jane Asinde play on Ugandan soil as the team leader and little did she dissapoint registering a double double (27pts, 12rbs).
