Seneca Sting bite back
for a historic season
AFTER THE 2020-21 SEASON was cancelled due
to the COVID-19 pandemic, a resilient
group with a history that spans more than
50 years, Seneca Sting's 2021-22 season
was unlike any that came before it.
After the COVID-19 pandemic cancelled
the 2020-21 season, a resilient group of
student athletes, coaches and support staff
returned to competition producing highlights,
memories and lifelong friendships.
Last August, the Sting received the green
light to commence with tryouts, spurring a
whirlwind of activities and safety protocols,
including COVID-19 testing and screening,
proof of vaccination, facility bookings and
transportation. In total, the athletics and
recreation department conducted more than
7,200 COVID-19 screening tests throughout
the season.
Gillian McCullough, Seneca's Director
of Sport & Recreation, describes the season
as being " full of ups and downs, " but says
" we wouldn't have had it any other way. "
A sense of normalcy returned when
Seneca's Justin Walker threw the first pitch
of the men's baseball season, signifying the
return to competition after a 552-day hiatus.
The team later won an Ontario Colleges
Athletic Association (OCAA) bronze medal,
the first in the program's history, opening

the door for what would be one of Seneca's
most decorated seasons in its history.
The fall term also saw the men's soccer
team capturing an OCAA bronze medal and
the women's soccer team securing a regular
season division title.
Following another lockdown due to the
Omicron variant, the Sting hit their stride
during the Winter 2022 Term in both
OCAA and national championships.
Led by Tessa Liu, a Canadian Collegiate
Athletic Association (CCAA) All-Canadian,
Seneca's badminton team captured two
national championships, two CCAA silver
medals, four OCAA championships and
three OCAA silver medals.
Capping the season off on a high note was
Seneca's women's indoor soccer team, which
overcame their first loss in three years to
capture the OCAA championship title. The
team won in the seventh round of penalty
kicks over their rival, the Humber Hawks.
" Our student athletes love the competition, "
Ms. McCullough said. " And we
certainly missed it. "
