The Oilerettes finished a fine season at 12-0 in section play and 16-3 overall. The single most important factor in the victories was the tenacious defense, yielding only an average of 32.7 points per game, while scoring 48.2 points per game themselves. One highlight at the end of the regular season was the Oilerettes second place finish in the Grove City Tournament. A special honor for the Oilerettes was the naming of all five starters to the Section All-Star Team. Terri Babbitt, also named the league's M.V.P., and Deb Harkless were named to the first team; Karen Wujcik and jane Taylor to the second team; while Cathy Serafin was given an honorable mention.
