Exhibition win over Ontario team bound for Canada Games Oakville boasts the biggest soccer club in Canada with well over 8,000 members.

It was almost like an inter-squad game, what with the provincial team boasting no less than six Oakville play ers, including four from the Storm U18 (Anne Ogundele, Robin Gayle, Diana Mathieson and Tanya Dennis), one from the U-20 Oakville team (Emily Stevens) and one from the U-16 Oakville Angels (Kara Lang). Emily Stevens opened the scoring for Ontario on a penalty shot which stood up until the break. Ten minutes into the second half, the Oakville Storm evened up as Kanisha Campbell drew out Ontario goalie Anne Ogundele (who is usually her teammate with the Storm) before putting it behind her. Oakville then began to take hold of the game and Jaclyn Singer slammed a power shot behind the keeper for the 21 final count.
