D’Tigress of Nigeria have qualified for the quarter-final of the women’s basketball at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The team defeated Canada 79-70 in its final group game at the Pierre Mauroy Stadium in Lille, France, on Sunday.
This is the first the D’Tigress will be appearing in the quarter-final of the Olympics basketball tournament.
The Rena Wakama-led ladies bounced back from losing to the French in their second game after winning Australia in the first game.
There was little to separate the D’Tigress from the Canadians in the first quarter that finished 18-18.
The Canadians edged the team in the second quarter, and the game finished 41-37 by halftime.
The third quarter took a different toll from the previous periods, and the Canadians could only manage five points as Nigeria swarmed them.
D’Tigress sealed the victory with superior performance in the final quarter and rounded off a historic 9-point victory.
