Thunderhawks women in hunt at OCAA Curling Championships

THUNDER BAY -- The Confederation College women’s curling team is on a roll at the OCAA championships in Thunder Bay.

Meghan St. Amand’s squad won both of its games on Friday, downing Sir Sanford Fleming College 8-4, then following up with a 7-2 win over Niagara College.

The pair of victories improved the local favourites’ record to 3-1, good for a three-way tie with Seneca and Fanshawe, who Confederation College will play in their round-robin finale.

The men’s team wasn’t quite as fortunate.

They lost both their games on Friday, falling 8-2 to Niagara and 7-2 to Mohawk College, and remained winless at 0-5.

They’ll take on Sault College and Sir Sanford Fleming on Saturday.

In the mixed competition, the Thunderhawks lost their only match of the day, ripped 10-3 by Mohawk College.

They’ll conclude play on Saturday with games against Fanshawe and St. Clair.

All action is taking place at Port Arthur Curling Club.
