First Bank Women Club Triumphs Over Victoria Queens in League Opener
In the opening game of the Final 8 of the 2026 NBBF/Zenith Bank Women’s Basketball League, First Bank Women Club secured a victory against newcomers Victoria Queens with a score of 68-57 on Tuesday at the Indoor Hall of the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos. Both teams had previously competed in the Atlantic Conference, each winning one game in the earlier phases of the league, making this match highly anticipated.
First Bank dominated the first three quarters, scoring 19-14, 16-7, and 21-11, respectively. Although Victoria Queens mounted a strong comeback in the final quarter, winning it 25-12, they could not overcome the experienced First Bank side, who maintained their lead to clinch the victory.
This win gives First Bank an early advantage in their pursuit of the title, while Victoria Queens will need to regroup quickly to stay competitive. Other matches in the league were ongoing, with the defending champions Dolphins still in contention.
