BLOG: Colorado even on leader board at USA Curling Club Nationals
After two tight games in the first day of competition, Colorado is 1-1 at the 2015 USA Curling Club National Championships.
It felt great to pull out the win after a disappointing finish in our opening game against a tough Alaska team.
The team really came together, particularly in the second half of the game. We scored 2 in the 5th, but found ourselves down a couple minutes in time. Our skip, Cynthia Smith, dialed it in, and her decisive calls gave everyone a boost of confidence and we picked up time, as well.
The ice is keen and has a fantastic curl, thanks to the meticulous ice making crew. Great ice makes a fun game even better.

When curlers aren’t curling they watch curling! Especially when it’s the finals of the Brier (Canada nationals).
The ice at the new Fargo- Moorhead Curling Club is nice – and the expert ice crew has made it even better.
