Reformers of Prisons made a perfect comeback following a 22-28 loss to Galaxy Ladies by beating Navy 51-43 in Week Three of the Accra Basketball League (ABL). The game which played at the Lebanon House in Tudu in Ghana's capital, Accra, had Reformers head into the third quarter with a 22-17 lead. Navy threatened to erase the deficit with a strong showing in the opening minutes as Point Guard Marian Mensah scored successive layups. Navy's run was halted with the introduction of Promise Ofori and Elizabeth Atobrah as the pair combined for the team's 29 points in the second half. The final game of the day had Braves of Customs take on Galaxy with both teams registering no loss in the league thus far. Braves started out slowly as the team found it difficult to compete with the taller Galaxy side and unsurprisingly fell 6-11 in the first quarter. Galaxy's Naa Shika Moffat had a field day gobbling rebounds. The introduction of bigs Gloria Gyampoh and Matilda Gordon changed the scope of the game as Braves began to find more joy and points in the post. Gordon and Gyampoh's strong post attracted lots of attention from Galaxy who in turn got punished on the perimeter by Braves Guards Grace Doe and Afia Agyeman. Braves will take on Navy as Galaxy play University of Ghana in what will be the latter's debut game in the season.

University of Ghana (UG) has made history in the Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges (UPAC) Basketball Championship by winning the competition for an unprecedented third time.
The team piled on in the history books by becoming the first team to win three straight UPAC titles adding the 2018 trophy to the 2016 and 2017 titles. UG managed to clinch the enviable fleet of achievements by beating Accra Technical University (ATU) 41-36.
Backcourt mates Kwame Opoku and Emmanuel Wolff were the main men responsible for bringing UG out of a first half 20-27 deficit; the Guards shard the Most Valuable Player of the Tournament Awards.
Wolff's four point play early in the third quarter proved vital to get UG tied on 31 points heading to the final quarter. A series of blocks from either side were made before Wolff scored with ATU's Suleman Abubakar and UG's Gracefield Attoh trading blocks.
Opoku's time to do damage on ATU came in the fourth quarter when he stirred the crowd into a frenzy with a beautiful change of hands in midair for a layup and added a jump shot to put away a deflated ATU side.
The win is UG's second over ATU in the UPAC Final; the two sides squared off in the 2016 Final game. University of Education-Winneba (UEW) clinched bronze courtesy a 46-35 win over Takoradi Technical University.
