BAD light saved Makerere University main campus from a third defeat of the day as they hosted Uganda Christian University Mukono in the sh250m utl sponsored inter University invitational games on Thursday.
With the visitors leading the basketball tie in the second quarter at the Makerere pool court, the umpires called for an end of play due to insuffient light after a tightly contested first quarter that had seen the hosts get an edge.
Makerere had earlier lost in volleyball (men category) 3-1 to a lethal performance from UCU, who only lost one set 25-16 and won the rest 23-25 20-25 24-25.
Paul Wabwose was the star for the visitors whose all-round performance propelled the side to victory in the fourth and final set.
Makerere, who humiliated Ndejje University 60-6 on Tuesday, failed to live to the form and was edged 36-37 in the women basketball category with UCU’s Flavia Oketch outstanding.
The hosts only managed a 1-1 draw in soccer and managed a 2-0 victory in the women volleyball.
