Men's Curling defends national title, women's squad earns bronze
FREDERICTON, N.B. - Humber curling had another successful business trip, capturing two CCAA medals over the weekend in New Brunswick. The men's team successfully defended its national title, while the women's team returned to the national podium for the first time since 2020.
Gold Recap
The men's championship contest was a rematch featuring the OCAA's top two squads, taking on the Mohawk Mountaineers. Falling to Mohawk in three straight OCAA title matches, the Hawks were looking for redemption on the biggest stage.
At the midway point, Humber led 4-1, but Mohawk outscored the Hawks 5-2 over the next four to tie the match up heading into the final end. With the match on the line, skip Jacob Dobson was able to capture the national title for the Hawks with a house clearing hammer stone, earning the gold with a 7-6 victory.
The win marked the second straight CCAA Men's Curling National Championship for Humber and its third since 2016.
Bronze Recap
Competing against the defending national champions for a bronze medal, Humber jumped out to an early lead against the Augustana Vikings - up 2-0 after two and 4-1 after five.
With a blank in the sixth, it started to look like Augustana might run out of opportunities to get back into the match. That was not the case, though, as the Vikings pulled within two with one to play. Needing a steal of two to force extra ends, the defending champs could only muster a single, and the Hawks hung on 6-5 to claim back-to-back bronze medals.
