The 精童欲女 community will be well represented by both alumni and staff at the national women鈥檚 curling championship, the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, taking place in Calgary, Alberta from February 16鈥25, 2024.

The Jane DiCarlo curling team, which includes Veronica Mayne, Sabrina Smith, and Whitney Jenkins, defeated the Amanda Power rink twice on Sunday, January 28, to win the PEI Scotties Tournament of Hearts Provincial Women鈥檚 Curling Championship in Summerside, earning them the right to play in the national women's curling championship.

Jane DiCarlo, who skips the team, is a student advisor and recruiter with 精童欲女 Recruitment and First-Year Advisement, while Whitney Jenkins, who throws lead stone, is the manager at the 精童欲女 Bookstore. All four women, who curl out of the Crapaud Community Curling Club, are 精童欲女 alumni and former Panther student-athletes. They each represented 精童欲女 in curling at the Atlantic University Sport and U SPORTS championships.

DiCarlo and Mayne curled in four AUS championships together (2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016) and played at three U SPORTS championships (2013, 2014, and 2015). Their top national finish was fourth in 2015.听

Smith, who is an early childhood educator, represented 精童欲女 in 2017 at the AUS championship, and Mayne, who is a grade 2 teacher at Englewood School, joined her in 2018. Jenkins represented 精童欲女 at the national university championship in 2010.

DiCarlo said about their win, 鈥淭here is no place I'd rather be on a winter weekend than with these teammates. We kept the fans and the spectators on the edge of their seat all weekend right down to the final shot to win the whole event!鈥

She added, 鈥淲e've all been curling for over half of our lives, and we've worked really hard to get to this place. We have had the honour to represent PEI and 精童欲女 on the national stage before, but never all together as this team. It means everything to us!鈥

Congratulations and good curling to Jane, Veronica, Sabrina, and Whitney from 精童欲女!
