The team made its maiden appearance in the competition last year as a late replacement for University of Cape Coast (UCC) who pulled out at the last turn.
Regent filled in admirably competing at the zonal level against University of Education-Winneba (UEW), Cape Coast Technical University and KAAF University College.
Regent beat Cape Coast Technical 51-39 and KAAF 35-25 to stay within reach of qualifying to the quarterfinal stage of the competition.
However, a qualification showdown against UEW ended in a 52-35 loss for Regent to finish second in the zone. UEW progressed and ended winning bronze at the main tournament.
Regent followed its strong performance at UPAC with a third place finish at the Private Universities Sports Association Games (PUSAG).
Set to feature in its second UPAC, Regent is heavily tipped as one of the dark horse contenders for a quarterfinal slot in the 2019 UPAC.
