Team Sask. has had their best year ever, going undefeated with a 12-0 record in the inaugural year of the Western Women's League.

Saskatchewan also won gold at the Saskatchewan Open, B.C. Open, Alberta Open, and at another tournament in San Francisco.

Bill was named to the All-Star team at the B.C. Open.
