Mixed Curling Qualifies for Championships
This past weekend the Rustler women's and mixed curling teams competed in their second regional qualification weekend, trying to earn a spot in the top 4 of their respective divisions. The top 4 teams in the men's, women's, and mixed divisions will compete for ACAC hardware March 3–5 at the Vermilion Curling Club hosted by Lakeland College.
The women's team competed at a higher level than the first regional and was in most games but did not secure enough wins to earn a spot in the championships. The mixed team started strong and had a great weekend amassing a 4 and 1 record over the three days. Combined with their record from the first regional, it qualified the mixed team for Conference Championship.
Although Lakeland will only have one team in the championship, the team should have a reasonably good opportunity to earn a medal on home ice as they continue with the momentum they have built up this past weekend.
