Star Saeid Marouf made a successful debut for Fenerbahce HDI Sigorta Istanbul over the weekend and helped his new team move up to the top three in the current Turkish league standings, despite a 27-point tally from Canadian international Nicholas Hoag that fueled direct rivals Arkas Spor Izmir towards a hard-fought five-set win. Marouf demonstrated his brilliant playmaking skills on Friday as Fenerbahce mastered a 3-0 (25-21, 25-20, 25-21) shutout of visiting Altekma Izmir, in addition to making three spiking attempts himself and converting all three of them to points.
