Beşiktaş top Horizont Minsk 56-46 in EuroCup opener

Starting their Group D home game at the Integral Arena with a lineup of Gülşah Akkaya, Esra Erden Atacan, Frida Eldebrink, Ziomara Morrison and Jordan Hooper, the Lady Eagles kept their visitors away from the basket throughout the first two quarters as they were up 30-19 at the break. The Belarus team cut that lead to 40-32 before the fourth quarter, but Beşiktaş turned to their defence in the closing minutes to walk away with a well-deserved double-digit victory. Coming off the bench, Petra Kulichova led the Lady Black Eagles with 17 points.
