Beşiktaş bids farewell to 2015 EuroCup after heartbreaking loss at the Arena

Beşiktaş 58-60 Istanbul University BDG

Needing a five-point win for the EuroCup semifinals, Beşiktaş Women’s Basketball had a hard time going to the basket in the first quarters and trailed their visitors 37-26 at the break. After the halftime, the Lady Eagles found their shooting touch as they cut the margin down to seven points, 47-40, before the final 10 minutes. Beşiktaş continued to chip away at the deficit in the fourth quarter, and thanks to a three-pointer by Frida Eldebrink, were able to tie the score at 58-58 with a minute left to play but could not make the clutch shots down the stretch. Jordan Jooper led the Lady Eagles with 13 points.
