The 2010 U.S. Olympic Team for Women's Curling earned its first World Curling Tour event victory of the season on Sunday by defeating Ontario's Lisa Farnell rink, 5-2, at the OVCA Fall Classic in Kemptville, Ontario.

Debbie McCormick led teammates Allison Pottinger, Nicole Joraanstad and Natalie Nicholson to an undefeated record to grab the $4,500 CDN cash prize. The win follows up two successful events in Switzerland in which the team advanced to the playoffs as well.

Also, 2006 Olympic bronze medalist Pete Fenson led his team to the Duluth Cashspiel title Sunday night in Duluth, Minn., with a 4-3 win over 2008 national champion Craig Brown in an extra end.

Teaming up with Fenson were fellow Olympic medalists Shawn Rojeski and Joe Polo as well as 2008 world junior champion Aanders Brorson.
