The NBBF Women’s League phase two kicked off yesterday in Jos, Plateau State, with some exciting match results.
All eyes were on Air Warriors as they topped the Savannah Conference in the first phase, while Plateau Rocks looked to improve their performance in the second phase.
However, on day one at the indoor sports hall of the National Sports Commission Rayfield, a shock result was recorded as Nigeria Customs defeated Air Warriors 69-64 in a very tight encounter that kept spectators on the edge of their seats from start to finish.
The win is a boost for Customs as they battle for a top-four ticket at stake in the Savannah Conference.
In other results at the Savannah conference, Royal Aces defeated Plateau Rocks 58-46. The Rocks put up a good fight in the first quarter but narrowly lost 12-13. They continued to push in the second quarter but gave up too many free throws and lost 12-16. The third quarter saw the Rocks lose again 11-18, while the fourth quarter ended all square at 11-11.
Titans were 70-40 better than Ham Warriors in another match that took place on day one.
Matches will continue on day two as Nigeria Customs take on Titans at 12 PM. Royal Aces will face Ham Warriors at 2 PM, while Plateau Rocks will look to bounce back against Air Warriors at 4 PM.
