Strathmore University Scorpions secured third spot in the Kenya Hockey Union women's Premier League after a 2-0 win over Amira Sailors on November 30, 2019 at the City Park Stadium, Nairobi.
International Gilly Okumu netted in the win to ensure she finishes joint top scorer alongside Blazers forward Jackline Mwangi on eight goals.
Okumu and Lynn Ayuma scored for the side coached by Meshack Senge in the 21st and 35th minutes respectively.
Okumu, who was last feted as the top scorer in 2014, said the accolade has been a preserve of the two of them (Mwangi) and noted that she will try and guard it next season.
"It has always been me or Mwangi. It feels good to once again be among the top scorers and I must attribute the development to my short professional stint in Germany with Eintracht Frankfurt," said the 24-year-old captain.
Amira captain Leah Omwandho conceded defeat saying their efforts were not good enough.
"Prior to the match, we had targeted a win that would have seen us finish third, but sadly it was never the case. We now hope to win against Lakers on Sunday to finish fourth," said Omwandho.
