- Glencora Ralph has been dreaming of emulating her idols by winning Olympic gold after being inspired in 2000 when the Stingers stood on top of the medal dais in Sydney. At age 23, Ralph already has over 100 caps for the national team to her name and has become a senior member of the squad in the process.
- The Geraldton born centre back/driver's talent was identified early as she helped Australia to the gold medal at the 2007 Junior World Championships where Australia knocked off China 8-6 in the final.
- Looking to secure her spot in the Stingers team she was named in All Star team of the tournament at the 2011 Canada Cup, before winning the 2012 Pan Pacific Championships and then knocking off main London rivals, USA, in a three match series.
- A star of the Fremantle Marlins National Water Polo League team, she made the 2011 all star team and became the 7th highest goal scorer with 48 goals and over 200 games for the club.
- Ralph is a school dental therapist at a primary school in Perth. She has been working as a therapist for the past four years and her day to day job involves caring in all aspects for children's oral health.
