Alberta runs table at Canadian curling juniors
Selena Sturmay and Team Alberta became just the fifth women’s team since 1971 to win each and every one of their games at a Canadian Junior Women’s Curling Championships.
Sturmay, along with third Abby Marks, second Kate Goodhelpsen and lead Paige Papley won all 11 games they played in the tournament in Prince Albert, including Sunday’s final with a 9-6 victory over Sarah Daniels and Team B.C. at the Art Hauser Centre.
The last time a team went completely undefeated at a junior women’s curling championships was back in 2010 when Ontario’s Rachel Homan did so. Before then, you have to go all the way back to 1989 when Manitoba’s Cathy Overton won each of her games.
“It definitely feels surreal right now,” Sturmay said. “It hasn’t quite kicked in that we’re Team Canada, but it probably will in the next couple days. I’m just over the moon right now.”
