We won a very hard fought 3-2 match against Ziraat in match #1.  We ended up winning the first two sets, then losing the next two to force a fifth set which we won 15-11.  Today is match #2 in our home gym.  If we can pull off another victory tonight, we play again tomorrow here in Istanbul for the chance to win the series and go on to the finals.
