February 26, 2023

VICTORIA – The University of Victoria women’s curling team swept the competition, literally, taking home the Canada West championship banner, Feb. 26, at the Victoria Curling Club. Earning a bid to the U SPORTS/ Curling Canada National Championships at Laurentian University in Sudbury, ON., Vikes veteran skip Kayla Wilson was named Canada West All-Star.

In the round robin-style tournament, the Vikes, who operate as a UVic competitive club team, beat the defending Canada West champion Regina Cougars and top-ranked varsity programs from Alberta, Calgary and Brandon, posting a perfect 4-0 record.

“It feels amazing to win, but getting to do it at home in Victoria in front of our family and friends is the best part,” said fourth-year student and team captain Kayla Wilson.
