In their last game, the Sting women's team defeated the Georgian Grizzlies by a score of 74-37, improving their record to a league best 8-0 mark for the season. At the holiday break, the Sting have plenty of reason to feel festive heading into the New Year. Seneca is the best defensive team in the OCAA having given up only 317 points in their eight games this season.  The Sting (619 points-for) is second in scoring behind the Sheridan Bruins (7-2 record, 651 points-for).

The Sting women's basketball squad can next be seen in action during their upcoming collegiate tournament in the New Year.
