Strathmore University Swords yesterday held their nerves to beat former Kenya Basketball Federation (KBF) women's premier league champions Eagle Wings at Nyayo Gymnasium.

A half basket is what made the difference between the two sides as Swords squeezed a slim 36-35 win. Neema Achieng led Strathmore with 10 points, while Lucy Machuma scored eight for Eagle Wings in the tightly-contested tie. The match was balanced from the onset, with Strathmore taking a 10-7 lead before forcing a basket advantage at half time with the score at 23-21 in their favour.
