Odhiambo led in carries, registering 25. He also recorded two-line breaks and five offloads.
Shujaa was knocked out of the tournament on Saturday afternoon, November 3, after a 17-21 loss against Fiji in the 9th-place semifinal.
The loss saw the team finish the Dubai 7s tournament in joint eleventh place.
In the ongoing 2023 HSBCS Rugby Sevens Series, Shujaa has just won one match after beating Canada 17-7.
Ahead of the Dubai 7s tournament, the players revealed that they had not received any financial help for the past three months.
This prompted the establishment of a fund drive with the team requesting well-wishers to help them sort some of their pending bills.
Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna pledged to support the team with Ksh100,000 in addition to the 466,346 they had raised.
