CALGARY — Allyson MacNutt produced the biggest upset yet in a curling event that provides a stage for toppling heavyweights.
MacNutt's team from Halifax, which will represent Canada at the 2025 world junior curling championship, defeated four-time national women's champion Kerri Einarson 8-6 on Thursday at the PointsBet Invitational.The round of 16 in Curling Canada's PointsBet features junior, college, university, under-25 and club champions taking on some of the top teams in the country.
Einarson's attempted raise to remove it and score with her final throw of the 10th gave up another steal of one. Kayla Skrlik meets Chelsea Carey, Kaitlyn Lawes takes on Selena Sturmay and defending champion Rachel Homan is up against Corryn Brown in the other women's quarterfinals. McEwen thumped national junior men's champion Kenan Wipf 11-3, second seed Jacobs defeated college champion Jacob Horgan 9-2 and Purcell was an 11-6 winner over Aaron Sluchinski.
"I'm not exactly sure how long she's out for, but we'll see," Einarson said."No surgery. She just needs a lot of physio."Einarson's regular lead Briane Harris is awaiting the outcome of an appeal of a doping violation that she says was due to inadvertent ingestion.
