New signing Jemimah Knight propelled reigning women champions KPA to a 78-26 thumping of African Nazarene University (Anu) in a Kenya National Basketball League (KNBL) match at Nyayo Stadium gymnasium on Sunday.
Knight, who joined the porters from Storms, poured in 18 points while Selina Okumu recorded 11.
She also posted 10 in a 59-42 triumph over Strathmore University Swords.
"Jemimah has brought healthy competition and a good outside game for us. Her presence is also being felt in defence," said KPA tactician Anthony Ojukwu.
"In our game today (Sunday) we were a bit relaxed, the players were a bit composed, unlike yesterday (Saturday)."
His counterpart Mike Oluoch said he was not surprised by the loss.
"I had only six players since most of my players have been unwell and so we have not trained," Oluoch said.
Zetech University Sparks whipped Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology Lynx 76-22 in another women's tie.
"It was an easy game. We are moving the ball well in attack but we need to perfect our defence," said Sparks coach Maurice Obilo after his third win in a row.
"Jkuat had their chances but they never made them count. We must keep our opponents out of our 'D', something we must work on going forward," said Jkuat coach Mary Chepkoi. "It is a learning curve for Lynx as we strive to get better in the league."
Storms, who suffered a 95-43 loss at the hands of KPA in Mombasa, recovered to whitewash Eagle Wings 69-32.
