Weekend Sports Preview–March 23-24–Women’s World Curling Championship, March Madness & NHL

Friday, March 22nd, 2013

After a respectable week, Team Canada finished the round robin in the Women’s World Curling Championship with a respectable 8-3 record.

In the Lions’ 29-20 win over Edmonton on October 29, Lulay had three touchdown passes for 322  yards.
