The addition of Kamile Nacickaite among others has given Adana Aski more firepower, but they fell short as Cukurova edged the second half to win 67-62 on Saturday. A late comeback by Michelle Campbell and Orman got them a 79-77 win over Istanbul University. Krystal Thomas and Mersin jumped on Bornova early and won 93-49 despite the best efforts of Ashleigh Fontenette. Quanitra Hollingsworth and Yakin Dogu University showed that they should still be considered the team to beat after winning at Galatasaray 77-71. On Sunday, Shay Murphy and Samsun fought back from an early deficit, but Botas did enough in the second half to win 62-56. Leilani Mitchell and Hatay stayed undefeated with an 82-71 win over Danielle Page and Abdullah Gul University. Fenerbahce joined them after seizing control after halftime to beat their other Istanbul rivals 82-65, although Iva Perovanovic continued to excel for Besiktas.
