Kisii University came in third with three points as the Technical University of Kenya finished fourth with a point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Team captain Faith Ndonye has praised the team\u2019s performance, stating that the win serves as motivation and encouragement for the team going forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe game requires a lot of concentration hence winning isn\u2019t easy. The win acts as encouragement to the whole team,\u201d stated the captain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The team has grown from pitching just one player in the previous tournament- Faith, to a full team that is progressively growing. The captain had represented the falcons solely during last year\u2019s tournament, stupendously and single handedly going on to win the trophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accompanied by the other ladies\u2019 teams, the team travelled for the tournament on March 4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elsewhere, the ladies soccer team lost 1-0 in their opening fixture against Chuka University yesterday, as hockey waits to play today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/theinvolvement.files.wordpress.com\/2021\/03\/falcon.jpeg?w=1024\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"2338\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theinvolvement.wordpress.com\/falcon\/\" class=\"wp-image-2338\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Daystar Ladies  soccer Team<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Team manager Millicent Tipatet had earlier on in an interview decried the effects of Covid 19, stating that it limited their training sessions as a team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCOVID affected the team in that we were not able to train together as a team and also as sports were halted, there was minimum practice,\u201d mentioned Tipatet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other teams to travel were chess and scrabble, which both sit at third on their standings after two days of gaming. Basketball and volleyball teams are also participating in the three day tournament which comes to an end later today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The teams are expected to travel back tomorrow morning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daystar falcons ladies\u2019 team won the annual KUSA championship darts trophy in a tournament hosted in the scenic city of Mombasa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2338,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[98,70],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2336","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-falcons-news","category-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/invo.nyarango.me\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2336","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/invo.nyarango.me\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/invo.nyarango.me\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/invo.nyarango.me\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/invo.nyarango.me\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2336"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/invo.nyarango.me\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2336\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/invo.nyarango.me\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2336"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/invo.nyarango.me\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2336"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/invo.nyarango.me\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2336"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
