Regular season
In Round 4 of the regular season, Sting lost 51–48 to an Irene van Dyk inspired Capital Shakers. The loss ended a winning run of 18 matches over two years for Sting.[5][8][9][10] In Round 8, Sting lost a second match, losing 46–44 to Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic. Two losses meant Sting were in 4th place and in danger of not qualifying for the semi-finals. Sting had to beat the league leaders, Canterbury Flames, in their Round 9 match to make certain they reached the semi-finals.[5][11]
