The visitors on the other hand remained resilient throughout the game to earn a valuable point on the road, thus moving off the base of the log and out of the red zone.
She Maroons FC, Lady Doves and Rines SS WFC all have five points but the former have shipped in fewer goals compared to the latter two.
At MUBS Arena, She Corporate started the better with Phiona Nabbumba, Grace Nassongo and Favour Nambatya posing questions to She Maroons backline.
The striker got into Mariam Nakato’s intended back pass to goalkeeper Daphine Nyayenga but her attempted lob over the shot-stopper failed to find the target.
Nassongo should have given She Corporate the lead in the 20th minute but her effort hit the top of the net.
Action will continue on Sunday with Kampala Queens hosting Lady Doves FC at IUIU Grounds, Kabojja.
