Kenya Ports Authority found the going very tough against hosts Ferroviario, who outclassed them 73-40 to deny them a semi final slot at this year's Fiba Africa women's Champions Cup here at the Maxaquene indoor courts on Friday night. The Kenyan team, who had vowed to tame the hosts in front of their fans, did not know that their opponents had a different plan for them as captain Ingvild Mucauro (178-F-92) and her two American team mates, Cierra Robertson-Warren (193-C-91, college: San Di...

Kenya Ports Authority found the going very tough against hosts Ferroviario, who outclassed them 73-40 to deny them a semi final slot at this year's Fiba Africa women's Champions Cup here at the Maxaquene indoor courts on Friday night. The Kenyan team, who had vowed to tame the hosts in front of their fans, did not know that their opponents had a different plan for them as captain Ingvild Mucauro (178-F-92) and her two American team mates, Cierra Robertson-Warren (193-C-91, college: San Diego St., agency: Two Points) and Carmen Virginia Tyson-Thomas, tormented the dockers defence at will. The hosts took a huge 17-2 first quarter lead, which they increased to 38-11 at the break. A strong third quarter, which saw KPA leading goal scorer Jamila Zama, hardworking point guard Debra Atieno and Brigid Nanzala (83) combine for a 22-20 score, did little to help KPA, who only scored seven points against 15 for their opponents in the fourth quarter to stroll to an easy win. Adriana Kosa top scored for Ferroviario with a game high 15 points, while Cierra Robertson-Warren had 10 in this match, which saw Zama limited to only 10 points for KPA, her lowest at this championships, while Nanzala had eight. "They ambushed us in the first quarter when they outscored us and coupled with the partisan crowed rooting for them, it made it impossible for us to recover," KPA coach Anthony Ojukwu said after the match. KPA are due to play Forces Armed Police (F.A.P) from Cameroun in a classification match on Saturday to determine teams ranking from position five to eight. In other quarter final matches, F.A.P gave tournament favourites First Bank from Nigeria a scare, before narrowly losing 66-69 in a match which went to the wire, with the star-studded Nigerians winning it on the buzzer. The other quarter final matches saw Inter Club of Angola easily dismiss MB2All from Madagascar 84-46, while DR Congo's Victoria Club shocked compatriots I.N.S.S 78-43. Inter Club are due to take on Victoria Club in the first semi final from 4.45pm on Saturday, before Ferroviario square it out with First Bank in the second semi final from 7pm. The week-long championships, which attracted ten teams, concludes Sunday with the third place play-off and the final. Courtesy of: nation.co.ke
