Eden University Women’s Super League: Top Goal Scorers After Week 28
The race for the Golden Boot in the Eden University Women’s Super League is heating up, with Penelope Mulubwa of Zesco Ndola Girls leading the charge with a remarkable 28 goals. The competition remains fierce as several prolific strikers continue to find the back of the net consistently.
1️⃣ Penelope Mulubwa (Zesco Ndola Girls) – 28 Goals
Leading the Golden Boot race is Penelope Mulubwa, who has been in sensational form for Zesco Ndola Girls. With 28 goals, she has played a crucial role in her team’s dominance in the league. Mulubwa’s ability to position herself in the box, time her runs perfectly, and finish with precision makes her a nightmare for defenders. Whether it’s a powerful strike from distance or a poacher’s finish inside the six-yard box, she has proven to be one of the league’s most complete forwards. With only a few matches remaining, she is the favourite to clinch the Golden Boot.
2️⃣ Maylan Mulenga (Green Buffaloes) – 24 Goals
Sitting in second place with 24 goals, Maylan Mulenga has been instrumental in Green Buffaloes’ title charge. Her strength, pace, and dribbling ability make her a constant threat to opposition defenses. She is particularly known for her ability to take on defenders one-on-one and score from difficult angles. Mulenga has been the go-to player for crucial goals, often stepping up when her team needs her most. With just four goals behind Mulubwa, she remains within striking distance of the Golden Boot, making the final stretch of the season even more exciting.
3️⃣ Natasha Nanyangwe (Green Buffaloes) – 21 Goals
Another Green Buffaloes star making waves is Natasha Nanyangwe, who has netted 21 goals so far. Known for her intelligent movement and sharp finishing, Nanyangwe has consistently found herself in goal-scoring positions. Her ability to link up play, hold off defenders, and score from both open play and set pieces makes her one of the most dangerous attackers in the league. Playing alongside Mulenga, she has formed one of the deadliest strike partnerships in Zambian women’s football. If she continues her goal-scoring form, she could still push for a top-two finish in the Golden Boot race.
4️⃣ Ivy Nambeye Wazingwa (Nchanga Rangers) – 20 Goals
Ivy Wazingwa has been the shining light for Nchanga Rangers, scoring 20 goals and proving to be their most influential player. She possesses great composure in front of goal, often making difficult finishes look easy. Her ability to strike from range, combined with her physical presence in the box, makes her a versatile attacker. Wazingwa’s goals have helped Nchanga Rangers stay competitive, and she will be aiming to finish strong in the final weeks of the campaign.
5️⃣ Ochumba Lubanji (Red Arrows Women) – 20 Goals
One of the biggest names in Zambian women’s football, Ochumba Lubanji, continues to deliver for Red Arrows Women. With 20 goals, Lubanji remains a key figure in attack, using her pace, power, and lethal finishing to terrorize defenders. A former Golden Boot winner at the COSAFA Women’s Championship, Lubanji has translated her international form into club success. She is a big-game player and often scores in high-pressure situations, making her a valuable asset to Red Arrows’ attacking force.
6️⃣ Mary Mambwe (Red Arrows Women) – 19 Goals
Another Red Arrows Women star, Mary Mambwe, has been sensational this season, netting 19 goals. At just 19 years old, she is considered one of Zambia’s brightest young talents. Mambwe has a knack for scoring from tight angles and is particularly effective in counter-attacking situations. Her quick feet, close control, and ability to beat defenders make her a standout performer. She is just one goal shy of the 20-goal mark, and with a few games left, she will be determined to push further up the rankings.
7️⃣ Fridah Mukoma (Zesco Ndola Girls) – 14 Goals
Before securing a high-profile move to Kansas City Current in the NWSL, Fridah Mukoma made her mark in the Eden University Women’s Super League, scoring 14 goals for Zesco Ndola Girls. The 18-year-old forward had a breakout season, earning the Young Player of the Year award after delivering five goals and 13 assists in 30 appearances. She also shone on the international stage, sharing the Golden Boot at the COSAFA Women’s Championship with Ochumba Lubanji. Mukoma’s impressive performances in Zambia and now in China (where she is on loan) have cemented her status as one of the most exciting young prospects in Zambian women’s football.
8️⃣ Regina Chanda (Zanaco Ladies) – 12 Goals
Regina Chanda has been a standout performer for Zanaco Ladies, scoring 12 goals this season. She has a knack for finding space in the box, often finishing off well-worked team moves. Chanda is also effective from set-pieces, making her a valuable asset in both open play and dead-ball situations. Her consistency in front of goal has helped Zanaco Ladies remain competitive in the league.
9️⃣ Regina Kayamboma (Luyando Foundation) – 12 Goals
Matching Regina Chanda with 12 goals, Regina Kayamboma has been the driving force for Luyando Foundation. A powerful forward with strong aerial ability, Kayamboma is a dangerous presence in the box. Her aggression, strength, and ability to hold off defenders make her a difficult player to mark. She will be aiming to increase her goal tally before the season ends.
🔟 Ruth Ngoma (Kamfinsa Blue Eagles) – 11 Goals
Closing out the top 10 is Ruth Ngoma of Kamfinsa Blue Eagles, who has found the net 11 times this season. Ngoma is a technically gifted forward with an eye for goal, often scoring from long-range efforts and tight angles. Her versatility allows her to play as both a central striker and a wide forward, giving her team more attacking options. She will be hoping to break into the top five before the season wraps up.
Conclusion: Who Will Win the Golden Boot?
With just a few games left, the race for the Golden Boot remains wide open. While Penelope Mulubwa leads the charts with 28 goals, the chasing pack—Maylan Mulenga (24 goals), Natasha Nanyangwe (21 goals), and Ochumba Lubanji (20 goals)—will be looking to close the gap.
Will Mulubwa hold on to her lead, or can one of the challengers surge ahead in the final weeks? One thing is for sure—the Eden University Women’s Super League continues to produce top-class goal-scoring talent, solidifying Zambia’s growing reputation in women’s football.
