The Bilkent women’s team played in the super league this year, which had three groups of four teams. The Bilkent women were in a very competitive group with Marmara, METU and Akdeniz. Unfortunately, they were not able to win enough matches to maintain their standing in the super league, and so will be competing in the first league next year.
