The senior women basketball team, on Thursday, edged out a tough Mozambican side 71-66 points at the City Arena.

D’Tigress began strongly with a 20-13 points lead in the first period, but trailed the Mozambicans in the second and third periods 23 to 21 and 18-12 points in a very tight contest between both sides.
