Good ball movement from Rangers carved openings in Spartans defense which Center Emmanuel Ocquaye profited from. Shooting Guard Cecil Arthur chipped in with a couple of three point shots.
Rangers were equally good stifling Spartans offense as fastbreak points accounted for a large chunk of the team's output on the offensive end. Spartans Guard Raymond Afram threatened to get his side even but a poor show at the charity stripe proved costly.
Despite the exceptional play of Akatsi Rifles Guards Makafui Agudzumegah and Opel Ayawudo, the duos production fell way short of Reformers balanced play that had the likes of Mishael Jamani Salifu, Jeffrey Abakisi and Mawusi Kalla starring at different points in the game.

Customs led 53-21 at the end of the third quarter and wrapped matters in the final quarter to increase its lead over second placed Ghana Navy to five points. Over in the Men's Division, the 2017 Division II season tipped off with a game between DC Dynamics Aspirants and Novas Academy which ended in a 58-54 win for Novas.
