Cowling's 14-rebound masterclass anchors Turgutlu to TKBL title and Super League promotion in Game 5 grinder-May 20, 2026
Turgutlu Belediyespor won the 2025-26 TKBL championship and earned promotion to the Halkbank Kadinlar Basketbol Super Ligi, grinding out a 60-50 victory over Kirklareli Belediyesi Fen Bilimleri in a tense decisive Game 5 to win the best-of-five finals 3-2.
After losing last season's TKBL final to Canakkale Belediyespor, Turgutlu made sure there would be no repeat heartbreak though Kirklareli pushed them to the absolute limit across a five-game war between two teams that had finished level on 23-5 in the regular season.
The clincher was a defensive battle from start to finish. Turgutlu led 16-11 after the first quarter, 33-21 at halftime, and 47-32 through three periods but Kirklareli mounted a furious 18-13 fourth-quarter rally that made the closing minutes far more stressful than the three-quarter margin suggested.
Mikayla Cowling (188-F-1996, college: California, agency: LBM Management) was the game's dominant force with 12 points and a massive 14 rebounds five offensive along with four steals and a block in nearly 40 exhausting minutes. Senay Zeybek (172-PG-2001) added 10 points with two three-pointers. Turgutlu's defense was the story, holding Kirklareli to 50 points on difficult, contested shots throughout.
For Kirklareli, Nyla Jean (168-PG-2002, college: Southern Miss) and Gulse Ugur (170-PG-1999) each scored 15 in spirited efforts. Ugur added nine rebounds but the visitors shot poorly all night and could not overcome Turgutlu's suffocating half-court defense until the deficit was already too deep.
The series swung back and forth across five games. Turgutlu fired past Kirklareli in Game 1, Kirklareli equalized in Game 2, Turgutlu retook the lead in Game 3, and Kirklareli forced the decider with a Game 4 victory. But on their home floor in the winner-take-all fifth game, Turgutlu's defensive identity carried them to the title that eluded them 12 months ago.
