JT Lady Jaguars swept the defending champions, JKL Lady Dolphins, to secure a semifinal slot.

JT Lady Jaguars secured a well-deserved 68-44 victory over JKL Lady Dolphins in game two of the best-of-three National Basketball League quarterfinals at YMCA Court, Wandegeya, on Sunday.

The Lady Jaguars came out of the blocks early, limiting the Lady Dolphins to only six points before opening up a 15-point (21-6) lead at the end of the first period.

The Lady Jaguars kept the foot on the gas pedal, thus extending the lead to 21 points by halftime before eventually securing a 24-point victory.

This brings an end to the Lady Dolphins’ struggling campaign, where they lost most of their stars, thus resorting to upcoming talents.

However, they endured a tough spell and made it to the playoffs after finishing eighth. The Lady Dolphins’ dominance comes to an end after a three-year run of collecting trophies.

Sarah Ageno recorded a double-double, dropping 13 points and collecting 12 rebounds. Priscillar Nambogo (23 points) and Maimuna Nabbosa (12 points) also contributed in double digits.

On the other hand, only Tamasha Nsubuga (13 points), Florence Ogundha (10 rebounds), and Blessing Vandelum (10 rebounds) managed to reach double digits for the Lady Dolphins.
