Ulinzi got out to a good start in the first quarter, winning 11-06 but were outscored 24-15 in a disastrous second-quarter with Equity taking the lead of 30-26 at the break.
After the break, the soldiers tried to pull back winning third quarter narrowly 20-19 but the Dumas winded up with a 20-13 win in the last quarter to take the game to 69-59 at the final buzzer.
Equity's head coach Carrey Odhiambo was delightful for the win.
"I am happy for the team; we didn't start the game well as we were not sure with the ball but we made adjustments and got ourselves back in the game," Odhiambo said.
On his part Ulinzi head coach Bernard Mufutu blamed defense for the loss.
"It was an entertaining match though unfortunately we lost. Our biggest undoing was on rotational defense as we gave up so many free throws," Mufutu said.
Thank you, come again!
