On June 8, 2019, Equity Hawks dominated Tangit Sparks in the Kenya Basketball Federation women's Premier League quarter-final play-offs at Nyayo Gymnasium, winning 82-47.
Belinda Okoth led the Hawks with 17 points, while Samba Mjomba and Linda Alando contributed 14 and 12 points respectively.
Despite a strong effort from Tangit's Mitchelle Otinda, who scored a match-high 18 points, and Celia Okumu with 17 points, the team was unable to catch up with the Hawks.
Equity Hawks' coach David Maina expressed his team's goal of winning the second game and securing their spot in the semis.
'We played well and are looking to finish the job in the next game so we can have some rest and also have adequate time to prepare for the semis,' Maina said.
Justus Akwesa of Tangit attributed their loss to a lack of team training.
'We did not manage to train together as a team and it had a huge impact on the outcome of the match,' Akwesa said.
