The Australian women’s water polo team, the Stingers, featuring seven NSWIS athletes, has won bronze at the World League Super Finals after defeating Canada 7-6.
Australia’s first goal came through NSWIS athlete Taniele Gofers in the second quarter before fellow NSWIS athlete Mia Santoromito even the score at 2-2 only minutes later.
From there the game was a constant struggle for both teams, with Australia eventually getting the upper hand thanks to an outstanding effort from Alicia McCormack in goals who made 12 saves.
