Team Northern Ontario scored one in nine to tie Newfoundland and Labrador, then stole another point in 10 to pull out an 8-7 win.
THUNDER BAY – Krista McCarville and Team Northern Ontario will hit the playoff round at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts as the top seed out of Pool B.
“The win felt great. My draw weight didn’t feel the greatest. I just said to the girls, sometimes you just need a little bit of luck in curling, and sometimes you need things to go your way, and that was of those that we used that we needed. We haven’t had to use those yet, in this tournament,” McCarville said after the win.
Jennifer Jones, who Team Northern Ontario beat in their opener this week at the Sandman Centre in Kamloops, B.C., has secured one playoff spot, at 6-1, with Rachel Homan in the driver’s seat for the third and final spot at 4-2. But she faces a key game against a desperate Andrea Kelly of New Brunswick. A win clinches a playoff spot for Homan, a three-time Scotties champion, while a loss would keep Kelly and the four-loss teams in the hunt.
