GUELPH, Ont. - The Brock University men's curling team captured a bronze medal at the Ontario University Athletics (OUA) Curling championships hosted by University of Windsor at the historic Guelph Curling Club.

"Overall it was a successful weekend for the Brock curling program," said head coach Murray Etherington. "I was real happy for the men who made a step up from a year ago capturing bronze and were millimeters away from playing in the gold medal match. Going into the OUA's we knew it was going to be tough for the women because of our pool, but we accomplished our goal of making it to the playoff round with many good things to look forward to moving forward."

In the round robin, they post a 5-1 record, highlighted by a 5-2 victory over the defending CIS champion Waterloo Warriors.

In the semifinals, Brock lost 7-6 an extra ends to the eventual OUA Champion Toronto Varsity Blues.
