In Calabar, Confluence Queens were eliminated from the competition by Edo Queens after a narrow 1-0 win at the U.J. Esuene Stadium.
While 2017 finalists Ibom Angels stepped up their quest to make a back-to-back final as they overcame close-door rivals Delta Queens in Enugu.
At the Dipo Dina Stadium, Bayelsa Queens overpowered Osun Babes as second-half efforts of Adebisi Saheed and Joy Jerry helped the 2015 and 2016 finalists seal a semi-final spot.
In the semi-final fixtures, Rivers Angels, who survived 2015 champions will battle 2016 finalists Bayelsa Queens in their quest to retain the national championship this year.
