JT Lady Jaguars finish the regular season atop the standings with a 20-2 record from 22 games. Their only defeats came against JKL Lady Dolphins and Magic Stormers.
UCU Lady Canons will equal the 42 points tally of they win their remaining three games against KCCA Leopards, JKL Lady Dolphins and Miracle Eaglets, but JT have a better head to head having beaten the side on both meetings this season.
