GUSA 2020: A round up of the results for day one

Defending champions, University of Cape Coast (UCC) started their GUSA Games title defence with a streak of wins across the various sporting disciplines.

However, debutants Ghana Institute of Journalism (GIJ), struggled to make any significant impression on the first day of events.

GIJ were humiliated by powerhouses, UCC in the men’s basketball game, losing 80-17. The football team’s hopes of making a name for themselves ended in tears after losing 5-3 on penalties following a goalless 90 minutes of action.
