APR’s spiker Lawrence Yakan led the side’s assault with 17 points while Claude Kwizera also proved a valuable weapon for Jean Luc Ndayikengurukiye’s side with his impenetrable blocks.

After their day one victory over APR, Zamalek improved their win-loss ratio to 2-0 after another convincing 3-0 (25-11, 25-14, 25-15) display over Prisons Service of Nigeria.
