UMMC Ekaterinburg scraped their way into the EuroLeague Women Final Four by coming from behind to beat Fenerbahce in the final seconds in Istanbul.
Having enjoyed a 94-62 rout at home in Russia on Tuesday, UMMC found things much harder going on the road and had to survive two late Fener misses to hang on to their lead.
UMMC Ekaterinburg brushed aside TEO Vilnius in two Eighth-Finals games but coach Gundars Vetra doesn't expect an easy ride this week against Fenerbahce.
The Turkish giants won an extremely tight showdown with LOTOS PKO BP Gdynia, and that means UMMC's big signing last summer Cappie Pondexter will go up against her former team Fener.
Fenerbahce edged Lotos PKO BP Gdynia in overtime on Wednesday to advance to the Quarter-Finals of the EuroLeague Women play-offs.
Esmeral Tuncluer's three-pointer for Fener with 15 seconds remaining knotted the Eighth-Finals Game 3 decider at 63-63 and then the home side made six free throws in the final 25 seconds of the extra period to win 79-76.
