The four-time champion will take on fellow four-time champion Rachel Homan in Sunday night's final.
Kerri Einarson, the four-time Scotties Tournament of Champions, will get a shot at title No. 5, after beating Nova Scotia’s Christina Black 9-8 in Sunday’s semifinal, setting up battle of the titans in the finale against defending champion Rachel Homan.
“If we hit what we could see of it I knew it was going to dead stuff there and we were going to roll in for shot rock,” Einarson said.“I looked up at the jumbotron and I knew it was us,” she said. “She let go I thought we’ve got a chance. This has to curl. If it had of curled a little more, we win. She would have still rolled out and ours would have rolled in a little further. That’s the way it is. You can’t win every game and you can play a good game and stil lose.”
Einarson, third Val Sweeting, second Karlee Burgess and lead Krysten Karwicki opened with a deuce in the first end, Black unable to make an angle-double on either of her two shots in the end, leaving a draw to the eight for a pair.
