In the other games of the day, Murijanatu Musa’s 10 points and 10 rebounds helped First Bank to a 50-36 victory over Raptors Girls, sealing a 100% record at the tournament as winners of Group B.

In the second game in the group, Sunshine Angels of Akure booked their place in the semifinals of the competition thanks to a 53-31 points win over the War Queens of Sango Ota.

The Coach Sola Aluko girls took care of business early and maintained their dominance from start to finish, leaving the youthful Ota team tutored by coach Peter Akindele playing catch up in all of the 40 minutes of action to finish as runners up in Group B behind the undefeated First Bank basketball club of Lagos.
