The hopes of the Nigeria Women’s Volleyball team reaching the semi-final of the ongoing African Senior Women’s Volleyball Championship in Yaounde, Cameroon has been dashed after getting thrashed 3-0 by 2021 runners-up Kenya on Tuesday.

The Nigerian team started the championship strongly with a 3-0 demolition of the Malians but ended the group games with 2 wins and 3 defeats. Losing back to back against North African foes Egypt, and agonizingly against Algeria.

The loss against Algeria resulted in a tough draw against nine times champions Kenya in the quarter-final which was played on Tuesday at the Palais Polyvalent des Sports de Yaoundé.
