While KCB had a relatively easy time on the court against the 2013 champions, Pipeline who won the first set had to do it the hard way as FAP took the first set.
The Paul Gitau coached side however, unleashed their best in the subsequent sets that were closely contested but ultimately prevailed.
Egyptian side Al Ahly will face hosts Kelibia while Carthage will tackle Rwanda Patriotic Army in the other quarterfinal matches.
