Nigeria’s women’s basketball team, D’Tigress, secured a hard-fought 75-68 victory over Senegal to book their place in the final of the ongoing continental championship.
In a tense semi-final clash that lived up to its billing, D’Tigress displayed resilience, tactical discipline, and sheer determination to outplay the Senegalese team, one of their fiercest African rivals. The game was tightly contested from the start, with both sides exchanging leads throughout the quarters.
However, it was in the final stretch that the Nigerian team found their rhythm, with key performances from standout players who delivered crucial points, defensive stops, and fast breaks to seal the win.
This victory not only extends D’Tigress’ unbeaten run in the tournament but also brings them within touching distance of another continental title. The Nigerian side has dominated African women’s basketball in recent years and is now one win away from further cementing their legacy.
They will face the winner of the second semi-final in the championship final, where they aim to defend their crown and continue their reign as queens of African basketball.
