It was a bronze medal finish for Delta Thistle’s Team Daniels at the 2020 BC Scotties Women’s Curling Championships in Cranbrook.
Daniels bowed out of contention on Saturday night with an 11-5 semi-final loss to eventual champion Team Brown from Kamloops.
Daniels, 20, and her team of Kayla McMillan (third), Holly Horvat (second) and Sarah Loken (lead) finished round-robin play with a 4-3 record, then dispatched Team Richards from Kelowna 10-5 on Saturday afternoon in the Page Playoff Format 3-4 game.

“This is the first ladies’ provincial for the three of us, so it’s just really awesome to be in the playoffs to begin with and to be coming home with a medal is top of our list for the season this year,” said Daniels, a graduate of Seaquam Secondary.
Rounding out the team is Horvat — a three-time former Ontario junior champion who is married to Vancouver Canucks captain Bo Horvat. The couple are expecting their first child in July.
Daniels was playing catch-up from the get go against Brown in the semi-final — surrendering three in the first end and another three in the third. It was 6-2 when Brown added four in the fifth.
Round-robin play included Daniels falling 10-9 to defending champion Team Wark on Thursday in 11 ends.
