Locally, Josephine Owino might be regarded as the greatest Kenyan female basketball player after playing in Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) for the Washington Mystics a decade ago. Kenya’s captain Hilda Indasi is argued to be the current best player but brilliant players will always exist. Achieng stayed for only a year with Eagle Wings before joining Uganda Christian University through a sports scholarship and played for UCU Lady Canons in the Uganda National Basketball League and Uganda University League. During her spell at UCU, she established herself as one of the fearless and most dominant Centres in Uganda National Basketball League.
