On October 27, 2019, the United States International University of Africa (USIU-A) Spartans secured a 2-0 victory over Strathmore University Scorpions in a Kenya Hockey Union Women’s Premier League match at City Park.
Rachel Wangui and Veronica Williams were the goal scorers for the Spartans, who had already won a match against Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) on Saturday.
The win saw USIU-A equal champions and current league leaders Telkom on 26 points, ensuring a top-two finish for the Spartans.
USIU-A coach Willis Okeyo expressed satisfaction with the team's performance, stating, 'The girls played well and our game plan was also effective in both matches. Our aim was for a top two finish and I’m glad we have achieved our objective.'
Strathmore University's Meshack Senge, on the other hand, was disappointed with his team's performance, saying, 'We did not take our chances but our opponents made good use of theirs well and that made the difference between winning and losing.'
