With a perfect 7-0 record in both West
Sectional and OUA Crossover play this month,
Scott has skipped the Western Mustangs'
women's curling team to the favourite at the
OUA Championships in Windsor, Ont., just
around the corner.
Scott led her
team of Erin Morrissey, Jackie Masongsong,
Fiona Muirhead and Laura Guetta to a perfect
4-0 record against stiff competition
provided by Trent, Laurier, Toronto and
Queen's. The Mustang women finish regular
season play with a record of 7-0 and are
ranked first heading to the championships,
which will be contested in Windsor over the
weekend of February 15-17.
The skip's
excellent shot selection and decision-making
skills have been exemplary, according to
head coach Rory Munro.
"She has
matured tremendously over the course of the
season," he said. "She's just taken it to
the next level in terms of performance and
leadership capabilities."
In just her
second season as a skip at the OUA level,
Scott's finesse draws, double takeouts and
precision hits-and-rolls in the Crossovers
this past weekend (Feb. 2-3) were a major
factor in Western going undefeated.
"She has a
great support staff and has a tremendous
rapport with her teammates," Munro said,
"and that has enchanced the team's
performance immensely."
"Jennifer was
shooting lights-out, making everything that
was coming her way."
In the final
game against Laurier, what Munro described
as "a back-and-forth affair," Scott and her
teammates put their game into a new gear in
the latter ends to win the final game and
remain undefeated.
