Ethiopia's Gadise Negasa came in third at 2:44:24.
Commonwealth Games athlete Ganiel won the women's race last year but she was happy with her runner-up spot.
"It went really well. I was two minutes faster than last last year when I won," she told the BBC. "I was happy with the way I paced it and I was able to pick people off in the second half of the race.
"We had a better international field this year - it was a tougher competition and I'm really pleased to come second. The winner was just classier than I was."
