Fullerton beat Lauren Lenentine, also of the Cornwall Curling Club, 9-5 at the Western Community Curling Club on Tuesday night to sweep the modified triple-knockout format in the Pepsi provincial junior women’s curling championship at 4-0 (won-lost).
Lenentine finished 3-3, with all three losses coming in the A, B, and C qualifiers to Fullerton.
Five-ender
Tuesday night, Fullerton took a 6-3 lead with a five-ender in six, and then sealed the deal when Chloe McCloskey, who throws skip stones, hit and stuck for three with the final rock in nine.
“We all wanted it just as bad; it’s just as great as our first nationals,” commented Fullerton. “We were really determined to succeed, and we worked together.”
They will represent P.E.I. at nationals in Stratford, Ont. from Jan. 23 to 31.
