Ruthless KPA hit century mark to crush Gladiators in Women's BAL qualifiers

Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) continued their ruthless form at the FIBA Zone Five Women’s Basketball League Africa (WBLA) 2025 Qualifiers, demolishing Gladiators of Burundi 100–42 in their third Pool 'A' encounter on Wednesday night at Nyayo Gymnasium.

The Dockers, who have maintained a perfect record in the tournament, dominated from start to finish with emphatic wins in all four quarters.

The national women's league champions opened strongly, taking the first quarter 22–06 before tightening their grip with a commanding 26–5 second-quarter performance to head into halftime leading 48–11.

After the break, the Kenyan giants showed no mercy, outscoring the Burundians 31–16 in the third quarter before sealing the victory with a 21–15 win in the final period.

New signing Betty Kananu was in a class of her own, dropping an impressive 27 points to steer the Dockers to another resounding victory.

The foreign-based trio of Alima Doumbia from Ivory Coast, Ifunanya Okoro from Nigeria, and Aminata Ly from Senegal combined for 40 points, underlining their growing influence in the squad.

All twelve KPA players got on the score sheet except Daisy Awino Onyango, highlighting the team’s offensive depth and balance.

The win keeps KPA on top of Pool A with six points, tied with Rwanda’s APR, who also have six points after beating Magic Stormers of Uganda 70–50 earlier today.

KPA and APR will clash Thursday at 7:30 PM in a much-anticipated showdown to decide the Pool A leader ahead of the knockout stage.
