Equity Bank Hawks cruised to a 71-25 win over the University of Nairobi Dynamites in a Kenya National Basketball League match at the Nyayo Stadium gymnasium on Sunday.
Valery Kemunto and Maryann Nyagaki scored 16 and 14 points respectively for the bankers, who are now second on the table.
Jane Kemunto provided 10 points for the campus girls, who gave a good display in the first half despite trailing 32-24.
“It was an easy game seven though we did not have proper training through the week due to the rains,” said Hawks’ coach Ben Oluoch.
“I gave everybody a chance and used the match to run our offence and defence to make sure they understand the plays.”
Winless Kenyatta University went down 55-38 to Storms, who had 23 points from Babra Diana as Messy Atieno managed 20 for KU.
“Much improved side only we need to work on endurance. We were a bit rushy on the offence but the girls are now playing as a team,” said KU coach Caleb Osewe.
