Honourable Mentions.

In this list, we have some players who we felt contributed to their team’s success but for one reason or the other we expected more. Others were hindered by injuries which cannot be avoided. They include: Jemimah Omondi, Kiyobe Chantal, Salma Akinyi, Valerie Kemunto, Hilda Ndegwa, Vilma Achieng and Christine Akinyi.

1: Natalie Akinyi
A five-time champion, Natty is still the best player in the postseason. She is a better point guard, a scorer who has shown over and over that she can also make her teammates better. Natty is considered as the finals MVP of the season. She averaged 13.2 points, 6.2 assists, 3.7 steals in the postseason.

2: Melissa Akinyi

3: Madina Okot
The youngster was a force in the playoffs and her numbers were unbelievably good. Madina averaged 10.7 points and 13.7 rebounds per game. She has a bright future ahead and we cannot wait to see what she will offer next season.

The quiet assassin of Equity bank had a great postseason. Her performance in the finals was super. Averaging 12.2 points and 7.2 rebounds per game. Betty was making a case for herself to win MVP if Equity could have won.
