The former Vihiga Queens striker brilliant goal-scoring streak continued once again and Baobab became her next victim.

Harambee Starlets striker Jentrix Shikangwa was on the score sheet as Simba Queens beat Baobab Queens 2-0 in the Tanzania Women’s Premier League match played on Tuesday afternoon.

Shikangwa who is leading the scorers' charts with 16 goals netted the opener in the 23rd minute to give Simba a well-deserved 1-0 lead at the break.

Joelle Bakuru scored the second goal in the 70th minute to ensure Charles Lukula's side won their third match in a row.

Simba Queens now sit at the top of the league standings with 42 points from 17 matches played so far this season.

They are closely followed by JKT Queens who are on 40 points with one game in hand while Fountain Gate Princess are third with 38 points.

Both JKT Queens and Fountain Gate Princess are set to face each other in a high-profile match on Friday at Uhuru Stadium in Dar es Salaam.

On the top scorers' table, Shikangwa’s closest challenger is Donisa Minja of JKT Queens who is on 12 goals. 

However, with only two rounds of fixtures left to end the season, Shikangwa is in a pole position to win the individual top prize.
