\nREGINA \u2013 The University of Calgary Dinos men’s curling team is off to the national semifinals as the Dinos added two more convincing wins in the fourth and final day of round-robin competition from the 2026 U SPORTS National Championship, hosted by Regina inside the Caledonia Curling Club.<\/p>\n
The Dinos men only needed to play 13 ends and racked up an incredible 11 points in each of their two wins on the day to finish with a 5-2 record for second place, advancing to Saturday morning’s semifinals.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Calgary’s women’s team wrapped up their first showing at nationals, finishing with a 1-6 mark.<\/p>\n
Entering the day tied for third with Alberta, the Dinos men opened the day in a Canada West final rematch with the Golden Bears. Alberta was on the board first with a single in end No. 1, only to see Calgary answer back in a big way with two in the second and four spot in the third for a commanding 6-1 lead. The two teams traded two-point ends before the Bears picked up three in the sixth to cut the lead to 8-6. Calgary once again had an answer with three of their own in the seventh to close the high-scoring affair with an 11-6 win.<\/p>\n
In the Friday’s finale, the Dinos continued their domination with another convincing win, this time against York. Calgary scored two in the first, third and fourth ends to build a 6-1 lead only to place five stones in the sixth end to seal the deal with another victory, 11-2.<\/p>\n
On the women’s side, Calgary was in a battle early with Guelph, tied at 2-2 after four ends. But the Gryphons picked up two in the fifth and then stole three in the sixth before winning 7-3.<\/p>\n
It was a similar script in the finale against Memorial. Things were knotted up at 4-4, when the Seahawks picked up three in the sixth for a big lead. Memorial then stole four in the seventh for an 11-4 win.<\/p>\n
Despite the loss, the Dinos overcame adversity this season and earned a Canada West bronze medal \u2013 advancing to nationals for the first time.<\/p>\n
The men’s team now turns its attention to Saturday’s final four, taking on Memorial at 8 a.m. MT. The Dinos and Seahawks played Wednesday night in a nailbiter that saw Calgary score one in the eighth for a 6-5 win.<\/p>\n
The medal matches are scheduled for noon MT Saturday.<\/p>\n
