Em Good and the Washington ladies won the region's first-ever gold medal at the Club Nationals as Good's Granite Curling Club team defeated Shelly Kinney of Minnesota, 7-6, this afternoon at the 2012 USA Curling Club National Championship in Mankato, Minn.

Good clinched the gold medal with a last-rock takeout to score three points for the win at the Mankato Curling Club. Good (Seattle) and teammates Jill Lamberts (Seattle), Jennifer Westhagen (Seattle) and Hannah Volkman (Shoreline, Wash.) upgraded to gold after a silver-medal finish last year.

In the bronze medal game, North Dakota's Beth Bohlman rink defeated California's Gabrielle Coleman, 7-6. Bohlman defeated Kinney last year for the bronze medal as well.
