GSU men's team powered past KPA in straight sets to lift their record-extending 16th national volleyball title on Sunday, at the Kasarani Indoor Gymnasium.

The paramilitary side showed grit and experience to win 25-19, 25-21, and 25-22 in a tightly contested final showdown.

GSU came out firing in the opening set, making their intentions clear from the start as they controlled the pace and tempo to take it 25-19 against a determined KPA side.

The second set saw a tighter contest in the early stages, with both sides neck and neck up to 10-10. GSU then pulled ahead to lead 20-15, but KPA clawed their way back to 21-22.

Still, GSU held their composure to seal the set 25-21.

In the third set, the Dockers struggled with their serves, often hitting the net or sending the ball out of play.

GSU took advantage, opening a five-point lead at 18-13 and dictating the remainder of the set to win it 25-22.

The victory handed GSU their first national title since 2022, a triumphant return to the top after KPA had forced a decisive match with a 3 -1 win on Saturday.
