Despite losing 2-1 to hosts Zambia on Sunday morning, the Hockey She Cranes are champions of the first Zambezi Series.
A cold Saturday evening in Lusaka drifted into a windswept morning that seemed to bite into the confidence of the Ugandan players.
Zambia drew first blood in the 19th minute through Priscilla Mtawito but Winnie Alaro leveled from a penalty corner after combining with her sister Norah Alum in the 30th minute.
Mercy Mutanibo then scored in the 32nd minute and it became a see-saw of a game. Both defences did their bit to close it out at that.
However, having won the Saturday encounter 4-2 and drawing 2-2 on Friday, Uganda retained a goal advantage of one to win the Series played at the Olympic Youth Development Centre in Lusaka.
