Club curling strikes casual and competitive mix

There is more than one sport that calls an ice sheet its home. And for the Marquette Club Curling team, members are eager to stay on the ice with curling being showcased on the national stage in the Beijing Winter Olympics.

The U.S. Olympic Team features three curlers — Matt Hamilton, Becca Hamilton and Nina Roth — from Wisconsin. As the popularity of the sport continues to grow it is relatively unknown at Marquette.

Many students, including Club President Micah Rojo, a senior in the College of Nursing, did not know there was a curling team on Marquette’s campus.
