D1 Round 15 (Regular Season): Derby game ends with REG's defeat of Kepler

Here is the last round review presented by LBM Management.

The most exciting game was a derby match between two local teams from Kigali: REG (#1) and Kepler (#2). Kepler was defeated at home 55-62 and even the advantage of their own court did not help. It ended at the same time the four-game winning streak of Kepler. It was a good game for Mali Kadidia Maiga (185-1997) who led her team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 19 points and 19 rebounds. Mali center Kankou Coulibaly (187-1990) contributed with 9 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists for the winners. REG's coach used an eleven-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. American center Desi-Rae Young (185-2002, college: UNLV) answered with a double-double by scoring 15 points and 12 rebounds for Kepler. Undefeated REG (10-0) have an impressive series of ten victories in a row. Defending champion maintains first place with a perfect record of 10 victories in a row. Kepler at the other side keeps the second position with three games lost. REG's supporters look forward to another derby game next round, where their team will travel locally in Kigali to the arena Azomco.
The game in Cyabingo supposed to be also worth to mention about. Fourth ranked The Hoops (7-3) played at the court of 6th ranked GSMRR (2-8). The Hoops smashed GSMRR 68-45. It was a great evening for DR Congolese forward Feza Ebengo (185-1999) who led her team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 17 points and 17 rebounds. Rebecca Cyuzuzo helped adding 14 points and 20 rebounds. The best for the losing side was Rachel Gikundiro (169-2006) with a double-double by scoring 17 points and 10 rebounds. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. The victory was the third consecutive win for The Hoops. They maintain fourth place with 7-3 record. GSMRR at the other side keeps the sixth position with eight games lost. The Hoops' supporters look forward to an exciting derby game next round, where their team will face at home their local rival from Kigali APR.

In the last game of round 15 RP-IPRC Huye was beaten by Azomco on the road 73-66.
