African Champions 2017

Nigeria have emerged winners of the 2017 FIBA Women’s AfroBasket Championship.
D’Tigress defeated Senegal 65-48 in the final of the tournament played on Sunday in Bamako, Mali.

They had beaten hosts Mali 48-47 in the semi-final on Saturday, to secure one of the two FIBA World Cup tickets available to Africa.

However, D’Tigress started the final game on a bad note, losing the first quarter 12-18 to the Senegalese, who failed to keep up in the second quarter.

Nigeria took it 21-10, to end the first half with 33-28 points.

Sam Vincent’s ladies dominated the third quarter winning 15-7, while the last quarter seemed very tough for both sides as Nigeria led with 17 points margin against Senegal’s 13 points to end the game with 65-48 points in favour of D’Tigress.
