Kerri Einarson's curling team staged a comeback to secure a win against Cameron, while Rachel Homan continued her dominance with a fifth straight victory in Pool A. The tournament is heating up with several teams vying for playoff positions.
Feb 18, 2025 at 12:29 PM ETTHUNDER BAY, Ont. - While Rachel Homan's curling team cruised to a fifth straight win at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, Kerri Einarson wriggled off a hook to escape with a win Tuesday.After giving up a steal of two in the fifth end, the experienced Einarson constructed a comeback with three points in the sixth and eighth ends and two in the 10th while holding Cameron to single points.
Einarson still had work to do in a tough Pool B, but after struggling with draw weight a lot of the day, pulling out what seemed an improbable victory felt like a jailbreak to the skip.The top three teams in each pool of nine at the end of the preliminary round Thursday advance to the round of six. The four Page playoff teams emerge from that.
Nova Scotia's Christina Black endured her own drama in an 11-10 win over Galusha. Black and Danielle Inglis of Ontario were tied atop the pool at 4-1."I almost threw up a little bit. It was really close," Black said."That game, it was crazy. It was up and down. We're Nova Scotians. We don't quit." Meanwhile, Homan was virtually, it not mathematically, assured a playoff spot after a 7-4 win over New Brunswick's Melissa Adams in the afternoon draw.
