ACAC Curling Winter Regional Day #3 Recap
The ACAC Curling Winter Regional hosted by NAIT concluded Sunday afternoon at the Avonair Curling Club in Edmonton, AB. After three fantastic days of ACAC curling, the regular season wrapped up and the teams have been determined that will compete in the ACAC championships February 24-26 at Lakeland College.
On the men's side, two teams (RDC and NAIT) finished the regional with a 4-2 record and will all advance to the ACAC championships along with Olds College and Augustana.
The women's event saw the Concordia Thunder post a 4-1 record to advance to the ACAC championships. They will be joined by RDC and Augustana (both with 3-2 records), and NAIT who posted a 2-3 record at the regional to advance.
It was the mixed event that accounted for the majority of the drama as it was the lone event that required a tie-breaker. The regional was won by Concordia with a perfect 7-0 record followed by Lakeland at 5-2 and RDC at 4-3. The drama occurred when MacEwan posted a 4-3 record to force a sudden-death tie-breaker with Olds College as the two teams had identical records following both regionals for the 4th and final spot at the ACAC championships. The Griffins defeated the Broncos 7-5 in the tie-break to advance to the conference championship.
