Lady Bucks will be seeking to register their third win in a row when they host title contenders Equity Bank Hawks in a crucial Kenya Basketball Federation (KBF) women's Premier League match at Magadi Primary in Manyatta, Kisumu on Saturday.
The Dave Michael-coached side is currently eighth in the standings with 15 points, two away from the danger zone, and will be hoping for their back-to-back wins against Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) Lynx and ANU Panthers.
Former champions Equity Hawks on the other hand are third on the log with 20 points after seeing off Kenyatta University Oryx who lost 57-33.
