The African champions lost 74-88 to the Americans in the quarter-final of the Women's basketball event of the Paris Olympics.

"This team is one of a kind. I am blessed to be a part of this team and this group. 

These girls never give up and they always keep fighting through any adversity. 

We are going out, but I think we are not going out on any kind of negative note. 

I think we accomplished something big this year and we need to build on this for the future", she said.
