FIBA Africa Zone 3 champions, Dolphin, continued
their impressive run in the ongoing Africa Championship Cup for Women in Sfax,
Tunisia on Tuesday with a 68-59 win over Club Sportif Police de Circulation.
It was Dolphins third match in the tournament, which
came after they defeated United State International University from Kenya
102-58 in the second match on Monday, and won 78-76 against INSS from
Democratic Republic of Congo in their opening match on Sunday.
The Chairman of Dolphins Basketball Foundation, Mr.
Wale Aboderin, said the team morale had been boosted by their outing.
He said, “Seriously, it’s the Lord’s doing. I can’t
explain it but we are rejoicing.”
Against CSPC, Dolphin’s starters, Upe Atosu and
Juliet Currency got 14 and 13 points respectively, while Ndidiamak Nwakamma and
Akpene Kodjo had 11 points apiece. Patience Okpe, who came from the bench,
scored the highest number of points for the team, 15.
CSPC’s Kalanga Tshiniangu got points for her team,
while D. Latrous and N. Dhouibi, came from the bench to score 12 and 10 points
respectively.
The Monday night defeat worsened the plight of
USIU, the Zone 5 champions, considering that they had lost their opening match
59-78 to CSPC of Tunisia.
The other Nigerian club in the competition, First
Bank, recorded their first win on Monday, beating CSS of Tunisia 77-66.
First Bank lost their opening match 87-77 against
Primero Agosto from Angola.
First Bank’s third match is against INJS from
Cameroon.
