With no warm-up, Powers executed a hit and roll behind cover and a draw around guard on her first shots of the third end. When asked if Baxter would play in Sunday's semifinal, MacLean replied "I don't think so. I don't know for sure." Black reached her first semifinal the third time she's skipped her province in the Hearts. She previously appeared in a semifinal as Mary-Anne Arsenault's vice in Penticton, B.C., in 2018.
"We were so, so close on so many shots this game. Just the wrong side of the inch," said the 27-year-old Skrlik, who skipped a team to the final four in her second Hearts appearance.
