Lenize Potgieter from Thunder claimed second place with 850 goals, followed by London Pulse's Assaindey Olivia Tchine in third with 699 goals.
Unfortunately, compatriot Peace Proscovia, had her season cut short due to illness, but she still managed to secure the fifth position with 564 goals for Surrey Storm.
Cholhok led Loughborough Lightning's offensive charge, particularly in a remarkable comeback after initially trailing by a four-goal deficit in the first quarter.
By the second quarter, Lightning had closed the gap to just two points, eventually leveling the score in the opening minutes of the third quarter before seizing the lead.

In the playoffs, the absence of Proscovia proved fatal for Surrey Storm, as they lost the bronze medal match to Thunder.
With her exceptional performance in the league, Cholhok is now expected to join the Uganda women's senior team camp currently in residential training camp ahead of the 2023 Netball World Cup in Cape Town South Africa.
