Both proved victorious. The Falcons haven’t seen a gold medal win at the Curling Invitational in over 20 years, their previous victory being back in 1990. The victories were nearly simultaneous, both games taking place at the same time. Jordan Ariss, the lead from the women’s team, said she had no idea what the final round of the men’s game was like because she was too busy on her own sheet. “Winning this championship just feels so good. I know one of the team members who won at the last championship, so it feels really great to be at the same level as them,” said Arris, adding, “by the time we were going into the last few minutes of our game, we knew the guys had already won. It really just added to our excitement and energy levels.” The final end of the women’s game saw skip Chantal Lalonde successfully complete an angle double tap to steal the end. According to Arris, that was really the turning point in the game, score-wise. On the men’s side, it was skip Chris Jay who made the winning shot. The tournament final scores were 6-1 for the women’s team, losing only one game, and the men’s team went 7-0. The scores of the final games were 5-4 for the men’s team, who beat the Red Deer team and 6-4 for the women’s team, who triumphed over the Grand Prairie team. Arris was quick to give thanks to the teams’ coaches, including Barry Westman, the Head Coach; Tom Devaney, the Assistant Coach; and Shirley Westman, the Associate Coach, as well as all the support both teams received from the Athletics Department.
