Black Queens wallop Niger 9:0 in WAFU tourney
Ghana's Black Queens rebounded Friday, spanking their Nigerien opposition 9:0 in the second Group A match in the WAFU Zone B women's tournament currently ongoing in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire.
Three players - Portia Boakye, Janet Egyir and Jane Ayieyam all grabbed braces, with Ruth Appiah, Priscilla Okyere and Grace Asantewaa adding to the haul to complete the routing that saw the Queens end the first half 5:0.

The results put the Ghanaians back in the reckoning after they gave away their opening game 0:1.
Going into Friday’s game, coach Mercy Tagoe Quarcoo had banked on her charges to harvest as many goals as they could, starting Philicity Asuako, Alice Kusi and Ruth Appiah in a strategic change to the team that failed against the Ivorians.
Despite the huge win, the Queens are not through yet as they have a final Group A game against Burkina Faso to play to determine their fate.
Burkina Faso, 5:1 winners against Niger on match day one, face Cote d’Ivoire in the other group game Friday.
