It was the third loss in four games for the defending champion of the Zenith Bank/Nigeria Basketball Federation Women League after succumbing to another 61-32 loss against MFM, in the First Phase of the Atlantic Conference currently ongoing at the Indoor Sports Hall of the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos.
On Wednesday, the Lagos-based side failed against newcomer, Victoria Queens, losing the game 77-40 points.
Playing the last game of the Day 5, it was a total whitewash from the two-time winner of the league, taking all the quarters in a dominant fashion.
After starting the phase with a 59-46 points defeat of First Deep Water, the defending champion lost their second game 58-28 points to Bayelsa Blue Whales before a hard fought 58-43 points against IGP Queens.
The other games on Thursday in the Atlantic Conference saw Bayelsa Blue Whales defeating Royal Aces 57-45 points while it ended 55-47 points in the game between First Deep Water and IGP Queens, with the police team making it five losses in five games played.
Victoria Queens also maintained their Cinderella runs in the First Phase, shocking record holder of the league, First Bank 50-42 points for their fourth win in five games.
Meanwhile, in the Savannah Conference, it has all been about the Customs Women Basketball team and Air Warriors, as they both have won all their games played so far in the conference.
In another development, two teams in the Savannah Conference, Kada Angels and HAM Warriors, both pulled out of the First Phase of season, leading to the rearrangement of the fixtures by the organisers, with six teams now partaking in the conference.
