Bottcher captures Players' Championship in Brier rematch against Koe. MORE:
Brendan Bottcher , The Canadian Press
The team of Einarson, Val Sweeting, Shannon Birchard and Briane Meilleur finished the round-robin portion of the tournament at 2-3, but ended as champions by running the table in their final four draws. Hasselborg would get on the board in the third end. She squeaked around an Einarson rock and followed the line for a deuce to take a 2-1 lead.
Meanwhile, Bottcher's rink, including Darren Moulding, Bradley Thiessen and Karrick Martin, earned a steal of four in the eighth and final end after Koe couldn't navigate through a sea of Bottcher stones in a crowded house. "We've had such a great year and to cap it off with a finish at the top couple of spots and a win against Koe I think is huge," Bottcher said."It gives us the confidence going into next year and hopefully, we can keep the success going."
Koe's attempt to get around it on his final shot of the end missed the mark, allowing Bottcher to earn the steal.
