Prisons reignited their National Netball Super League title hopes with a gutsy 47–46 win over league leaders UCU in a Saturday thriller at Nakivubo Stadium.
Earlier in the day, Prisons had cruised past Busia Greater Lions 58–38. That momentum carried into the showdown with UCU, though they had to dig deep to get the job done.
UCU started strong, edging the first quarter 13–12 and stretching their lead to 27–21 by halftime with fast breaks and clean finishes.
But everything changed after the break. Prisons coach Paul Sserunjogi made key changes; Sylvia Nanyonga (WD), Stella Nanfuka (GK), and Hadijah Nakabuye (GA) came on, and Joyce Nakibuule moved to wing attack.
The switch worked. Nanfuka dominated in defense, while Nanyonga disrupted UCU’s flow with relentless pressure. A series of turnovers, including one by UCU’s Winnie Isoto, helped Prisons draw level at 35–35 heading into the final quarter.
UCU briefly pulled ahead again behind Linda Muzigo’s sharp shooting, but Prisons refused to fold. Nanyonga’s interception and a timely pick by Lilian Ajio set off a six-goal unanswered run that sealed the win, handing UCU their second loss of the season.
Prisons now sit on 11 points, just five behind UCU, and very much back in the title race.
