Congratulations to the girls on winning their first tournament of the year,
the 2010 Ottawa Icebreaker.

The girls topped their Division and easily won their initial playoff round game to close out the first day of competition. The Stingers were rewarded with a bountiful team dinner and an impromptu tour of downtown Ottawa (including the Parliament buildings).

In the semi-final the Stingers scored early and ran out comfortable 3-0 victors over Oshawa Turul.

On to the final, and the team culminated the tournament with a thoroughly dominating performance against Ottawa South United. The girls passed the ball at will and attacked mercilessly. Within minutes it was 3-0. Both teams managed one goal each in the second half. The final whistle blew and the Stingers celebrated a well deserved victory. All that remained was the medal ceremony, and a long ride home. It's amazing how a gold medal can make even a 350 km trek bearable.
