D’Tigress have qualified for the semi-final of the 2025 Women’s Afrobasket in Cote d’Ivoire.
The team defeated Cameroon 83-47 in the quarter-final game
on Thursday at the Palais des Sports de Treichville in Abidjan.
The victory continued Nigeria’s streak of six consecutive
semi-final appearances in the competition. D’Tigress have not fallen short of
reaching the Women’s Afrobasket semi-final since 2013.
The Nigerians were in their best form when the game tipped
off against the Cameroonians, and they laid down the marker early.
The scoreline was 21-9 by the end of the first quarter. The
margin held through the second quarter, and D’Tigress were ahead 41-29 by
halftime.
The third quarter clarified the mismatch between the teams
as Nigeria scored 25 points and Cameroon could only manage two.
The final quarter was also an easy walk for the D’Tigress,
who wrapped up for a 36-point victory.
Amy Okoronkwo scored 18 points – the highest points in the
game. Followed by Victoria Balogun and Nicole Enabosi with 12 points each.
Nigeria will face Senegal in the semi-final on Saturday.
The D’Tigress are on the course for their fifth consecutive
Women’s Afrobasket title.
