Chan, whose experience came into play against a familiar foe from her days playing for Olympic Club Alger, orchestrated the 83-44 win over GS Petroliers of Algeria on Friday to book a place in the last four. 

"The aim today for us as a team was rebound, rebound, rebound and when you do that then offense comes somewhere." - Chan

In an interview with FIBA.basketball, Chan said, "I found myself in the right position when the ball was being passed. The aim today for us as a team was rebound, rebound, rebound and when you do that then offense comes somewhere."

Meanwhile, First Bank of Nigeria saw off Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) 84-63 after a tough first quarter that they only led by a point 20-19. 

Point guard Dominique Wilson scored an impressive 25 points and picked six rebounds while Nkechi Akashili added 24 points as the "Elephant Girls" marched into the Semi-Finals.
