Scotties Day 7 Review


Day 7 at the Scotties – Friday, February 22

All teams had two games today to end the round robin.  Saskatchewan and New Brunswick, needed to go 2-0 on the day and hope for a BC loss so there would be some tie breakers for the fourth playoff spot.

9 am Draw #15

The Scores

Devereaux (Newfoundland & Labrador) 8
Ross (Quebec) 7
Scott (BC) 9
Galusha (Northwest Territories/Yukon) 7
Crawford (New Brunswick) 8
Arsenault (Nova Scotia) 6
Birt (PEI) 8
Moore (Alberta) 4

Stacie Devereaux took 11 ends to earn her second win this week, in a game against Allison Ross from Quebec. Devereaux's 3 in the 9th helped Newfoundland with the win.  Even with the quick start of 3 in end 1, BC ended up in a close game against Galusha of the Territories. Galusha stole 3 1's in ends 2,8 and 9.  New Brunswick kept their playoff hopes alive with an 8-6 win over Nova Scotia.  New Brunswick got more deuces than Nova Scotia did.  The ratio was 3-1.  Jodie de Solla curled 99% in this draw and is the star player of the draw.  Jennifer Baxter curled 81%.  Both leads had pretty good numbers, but it was de Solla who carried New Brunswick for the win!  Andrea Crawford still needs a win in the 2 pm draw against Manitoba and a BC loss to qualify for a tiebreaker. PEI scored an 8-4 win in 9 ends over Alberta, adding to the disappointments this week for team Moore.  PEI stole 2 in the 2nd, stole 3 in the 8th and an extra in the 9th for the win.


2 pm Draw #16

The Scores

Jones (Manitoba) 7
Crawford (New Brunswick) 6 
Birt (PEI) 2
Homan (Ontario) 10 
Shumay (Saskatchewan) 8
Devereaux (Newfoundland & Labrador) 7
Nedohin (Canada) 8
Galusha (Northwest Territories/Yukon) 10

Jennifer Jones survived a scare as she just held on with a 7-6 win over New Brunswick to keep her perfect record intact.  Jones survived giving up two in the 7th and 3 consecutive 1 point steals from New Brunswick in ends 8-10.  Dawn Askin was a big part in this win because she curled the best at 93%.  Jodie de Solla, who had a 99% game last draw, curled only 71% this draw.  This loss for New Brunswick eliminates them from playoff contention.  Rachel Homan had no problem defeating Suzanne Birt of PEI 10-2 in 7 ends.  Homan got 2 3's in ends 1 and 5, a 2 in 7 and a steal of 2 in 2.  This loss eliminates Suzanne Birt from contention as well.   Jill Shumay was in tough against Stacie Devereaux of Newfoundland 8-7 in 10.  Shumay stole 1 in 5 for the small difference.  Kerry Galusha pulled off the upset and defeated Team Canada 10-8.  This same result happened last year as Galusha beat Nedohin during the Round Robin.  Galusha took 3 in 5 and stole 2 in 10 for the win.  

7:30 pm Draw #17

The Scores

Homan (Ontario) 6
Nedohin (Canada) 5
Moore (Alberta) 2 
Arsenault (Nova Scotia) 6 
Ross (Quebec) 5
Scott (BC) 9
Jones (Manitoba) 8
Shumay (Saskatchewan) 4

Heather Nedohin almost beat Rachel Homan for her second loss, but instead it was a close 6-5 win for Rachel Homan.  She stole 1 in the 3rd.   Kristie Moore lost for the 10th time in 11 games as Team Arsenault won 6-2 in 8 ends, in what might be their final game for good.  I don't know but maybe we'll see them back in Montreal next year!  Arsenault stole 1 in 4 and 2 in 7.  Allison Ross didn't finish her Scotties in style as she lost 9-5 to BC.  BC got a 3 in 3 and a 3 in 7.  Sasha Carter curled 94% in this draw and Brittany O'ROurke curled 74%Jennifer Jones ran Jill Shumay out of rocks in the 10th end to win the game by a final score of 8-4.  Jones improves to 11-0 while Shumay drops out of contention at 6-5.  Jones stole 2 in ends 5 and 6 each for the victory!

 This is the view of 3 out of the 4 sheets!

This is a great shot of Team Alberta with the lead, second and vice!
