Rebecca headed to curling nationals

Rebecca's curling team finished the eastern regional junior women's playdowns with a 5-1 record and will go on to compete in USA Curling's Junior Nationals.

"She made a gorgeous cover-the-pin shot to end her last game," Rebecca's mom, Lisa, posted on Facebook. "So proud and happy! Congrats to all four girls and their coach."

The national tournament begins Jan. 29 in Anchorage, Alaska. This week's Grand National Curling Club playdowns were held in Schenectady. (See the results.)

Rebecca is a member of the Rochester Curling Club's "Team Ely." (The teams are listed by the last name of their "skip," or captain.) Rebecca's sister also competed in the playdown as a member of the Schenectady Curling Club's Team Hillis.
