Legon survived a keen contest to win the women's volleyball bronze,falling behind host,Abomey Calavi University of Benin and the University of Lagos, first and second position winners respectively.

The championship had three other Ghanaian contesting Universities in the University of Science and Technology,University of Cape Coast and University of Education,Winneba failing in their bids to register on the medals roll of honour.
