Lauren Cochrane, student ved Okanagan College, bidro til PacWest-lagets bronsemedalje under Canadian Collegiate Athletic Associations nasjonale curlingmesterskap i Regina. Laget overvant logistiske utfordringer for å sikre podieplasseringen. Cochrane vant tidligere gull med PacWest i 2025.

Kelownas curlingspiller Lauren Cochrane, tredjeksstudent i business ved Okanagan College og medlem av Kelowna Curling Club, har tatt en ny medalje i karrieren sin. Hun spilte lead for PacWest-laget, som besto av spillere fra ulike høyskoler i British Columbia, under de nylige nasjonale curlingmesterskapene i Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association i Regina. PacWest-laget møtte utfordringer siden de ikke hadde hatt noen felles trening eller konkurranser før reisen til Regina sist måned. Likevel kom de raskt sammen og oppnådde en 5-2-rekord, som kulminerte i seier over Concordia i bronsemedaljekampen på kvinnesiden. Red Deer Polytechnic tok gull, mens SAIT Trojans fra Calgary sikret sølv under CCAA/USport Canadian Curling Championships. Cochranes tidligere prestasjoner inkluderer deltakelse i BC Winter Games og Canada Winter Games, i tillegg til hennes tidligere gullmedalje med PacWest i 2025. Denne bronzen tilfører Cochranes samling og understreker lagets evne til å yte under press uten tidligere lagkohisjon.
