What a coincidence that all visitors won their games. Here is the last round review presented by LBM Management.

The best player for the winners was Josephine Uwineza who had a double-double by scoring 24 points, 9 rebounds, 12 assists and 6 steals. Aline Uwimana chipped in 15 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists. Gahini's coach felt very confident using 10 players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Mignone Uwase produced 19 points and 6 rebounds for the hosts. Gahini moved-up to seventh place. UR BBC at the other side still closes the standings with ten games lost.

Rosine Micomyiza contributed with 21 points and 4 steals for the winners. Ronja Pavsek answered with 8 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists for UR Kigali.
