The win was their first of the season, but never looked completely secure until the final two minutes. Flawless first-quarter shooting from Jennifer O'Connell and Kalifa McCollin, who both shot at 100 per cent, gave the Steel a 15-10 lead at the first break. The Stars managed a late resurgence to cut that back to two, but the Steel retained their composure to shut out the win.
