ISTANBUL (EuroCup Women) - Spar Citylift Girona are celebrating a huge boost to their prospects of making it to the Semi-Finals of EuroCup Women after edging out Galatasaray 62-65 in Istanbul.
The Spanish side came out on top in their Quarter-Finals first leg roller-coaster, with the result giving them a boost ahead of next week's home clash.
It had looked like Girona might fall to defeat on multiple occasions as they trailed several times, but a late run in the final period saw them finish strongly. They shot well from downtown and their 11 triples were a big factor.
