Emily Maxwell managed the consolation goal for the University side just four minutes before half time.
This was Starlets’ first engagement since their painful ouster from the Africa Women's Cup of Nations last November.
The team has been dormant in the last three Fifa international windows.
Starlets have been in residential training in Machakos since Sunday last week, and were using this match to prepare for their 2018 Fifa World Cup preliminary match scheduled for next month away to Botswana.
The 30-woman squad called up incorporated five players from the recently selected under-20 team that is scheduled to represent Kenya in a tournament in The Kingdom of Jordan this September.
