Tie-breaker ends Gaels’ curling run
The Queen’s University curling team placed fifth at the World University Games tournament in Turkey after a loss to the Czech Republic.
A 6-3 record in round-robin play saw the team tied with the Czech Republic. Queen’s, led by skip Jon Beuk, fell 11-7 in the tie-breaker and finished fifth overall. In the eighth end, the Gaels were within one point of tying the game. The Czechs, however, cemented their win in the ninth end after scoring three points.
Canada’s top finish at the tournament came in 2003 when they placed first in curling.
