The Rena Wakama tutored ladies came forcefully into their third and final Group B game held at the Pierre Mauroy Stadium in Lille, France, after the second game loss 54-75 to host, France, before they bounced back to win against favourite Canada
The reigning Africa queens sailed through the group stage with five classification points and sit top of the pack, with France still to play Australia later in the day.
The Nigerian girls had earlier created one of the biggest upsets in the history of the basketball ,after the historic 75-62 win against third rated side in the world, Australian Opals in the opening game of the group
The third quarter of the keenly contested game took a different toll from the previous periods, as 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.
Both sides had earlier hotly contested the first quarter of the game with nothing to separate them, finishing with 18 points a- piece
