THUNDER BAY, Ont. — Quebec's Laurie St-Georges contributed to gridlock at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts by handing four-time Canadian champion Kerri Einarson a first loss Monday.
Nova Scotia's Christina Black and Ontario's Danielle Inglis joined Quebec at 3-1 in the afternoon draw at the Fort William Gardens in Thunder Bay, Ont. St-George feels like she has a lot to learn in her fifth straight year skipping Quebec at the Hearts. Her team ran low on its allotted time in a second straight game.
But she has an experienced vice with big-game experience for a second straight year. Jamie Sinclair won three gold medals in five U.S. national finals appearances before returning to Canada. The 37-year-old Black from Halifax gets a glint in her eye when ice offers stone movement because burying draws around guards is her specialty.
"She understands what I'm feeling out there, the pressure and just like what's going through my head," Black explained."It's a little bit easier on me. These games are exhausting.""A huge win, especially against that team," Inglis said."They're a strong team and one that's always a contender. We needed that one."
