The win at the Palais des Sports de Treichville on Monday secured D’Tigress a direct ticket to the quarter-finals as Group D winners, having won both group matches.

After a challenging first half, the reigning champions showed their quality and composure as they bounced back in the second half to seal victory.

Star guard Ezinne Kalu, the 2019 MVP, was instrumental once again, leading all scorers with 16 points and five steals while helping Nigeria to avoid a potential upset.

D’Tigress will now prepare for the quarter-finals as they continue their quest for a fourth consecutive Women’s AfroBasket title.

The team had earlier defeated Rwanda on Saturday.

These wins by our women should encourage girls to join sports instead of hookup

These girls are gonna win a 4th straight one if complacency doesn't come into play.
They ain't smiling

Bahamas95:
I don't like how government is not paying much attention to other sports apart from football. These girls have been making us proud but they don't get enough recognition.


The ministry of sports should do something about this, it's not fair.



Congratulations to we our girls, bring the trophy home.

All money in sports should be diverted to women alone. We make Nigerians proud the most.
