Scotties Day 4 Review


Day 4 at the Scotties – Tuesday, February 19

2 pm Draw #8

The Scores

Moore (Alberta) 3
Devereaux (Newfoundland and Labrador) 8 
Scott (BC) 13
Crawford (New Brunswick) 7
Arsenault (Nova Scotia) 10
Galusha (Northwest Territories/Yukon) 7
Ross (Quebec) 6
Birt (PEI) 8

Kristie Moore is still winless as Stacie Devereaux controlled the game throughout and won 8-3 in 8 ends.   Devereaux took 4 in the 4th and 3 in the 7th to win the game.  This was Devereaux's first win at this year's Scotties. Kelly Scott and Andrea Crawford were tied 7-7 going into the 9th end.  Crawford had a stone in the 4 foot and  Kelly Scott had 5 other rocks in the house.  Scott used one of her stones and rolled in and hit the New Brunswick stone to score 6.  Mary Anne Arsenault's rink out of Nova Scotia has won their game over Kerry Galusha's rink out of Northwest Territories/Yukon by a final score of 10-7.  Arsenault got a three in the 2nd end to make it 3-1 at that time.  Northwest Territories/Yukon gave up 2 in the 9th and gave up a steal of 1 in the 10th.  Galusha didn't make her last to shots to try to send it into an extra end, giving Nova Scotia their first win.  Suzanne Birt needed a measure to tie the game up at 6 after being down 6-4 to send it to an extra against Quebec.  Allison Ross had the hammer in the extra end but she was heavy on her final draw and gave PEI two more points for the win.  Even though they lost, Brittany O'Rourke outcurled Sarah Fullerton 90% - 67%.  This was a big difference!

7:00 pm Draw #9

The Scores

Shumay (Saskatchewan) 5
Arsenault (Nova Scotia) 7
Homan (Ontario) 8
Ross (Quebec) 4
Moore (Alberta) 6
Jones (Manitoba) 9
Scott (BC) 5
Nedohin (Canada) 7
                       
Jill Shumay and Mary Anne Arsenault had a good and close game that went until Saskatchewan ran out of rocks in the 10th.  After Shumay's first 4 wins, she has now lost 2 straight.  It is vice-versa for Arsenault.  Arsenault got 3 in the second and that was the difference.  Colleen Jones didn't look rusty today as she curled 95% in this draw compared to the Saskatchewan second Taryn Holtby who curled 78%.   Colleen Jones was the best out of all the curlers in this draw.  Rachel Homan improves to 6-0 after defeating Allison Ross of Quebec 8-4 in 9 ends.  Rachel, on her last shot in the third, made a great hit through the tight port and Ross was heavy on her draw.  Homan stole 3 in that end.  Jennifer Jones also has improved to 6-0 after a 9-6 win over Team Kristie Moore.  Moore had chosen to sit out this game and let Renee Sonnenberg take the reigns of the team.  As we all remember, it was Moore that won the Alberta Playdowns over Sonnenberg with a draw to the button in an extra end.  Jones also had a 3 ender in the 3rd and that was the big difference.  Heather Nedohin stayed at a perfect 6-0 record this evening after defeating Kelly Scott in a back and forth 7-5 win.  Nedohin only let Team BC get their deuce once.  A very great job by her! Diane Gushulak was filling in at lead for the second straight game for Sarah Wazney, who wasn't even at the KRock centre.  I hope she feels better soon.

I suggest that the Canada vs. Manitoba game at 2pm on Sheet A is the game that everyone will want to see.  Saskatchewan vs. Ontario on sheet D should be good as well in the same draw.

Scotties Day 3 Review

Day 3 at the Scotties – Monday, February 18

2 pm Draw #6

The Scores

Ross (Quebec) 2
Nedohin (Canada) 12
Jones (Manitoba) 11
Arsenault (Nova Scotia) 4
Homan (Ontario) 9
Scott (BC) 8
Moore (Alberta) 6
Shumay (Saskatchewan) 7
                       
I was at these games live.   Allison Ross had a tough afternoon as they lost 12-2 to Team Canada in 7 ends.  Ross only curled 54% while Nedohin curled 91%.  Mary-Anne Arsenault kept it close until the 7th end where she gave up 4 and in the 8th when she gave up 3 to Jennifer Jones.  The final score was 11-4 for Jennifer Jones.  Rachel Homan of Ontario defeated Kelly Scott of British Columbia by a final score of 9-8 in 11 ends.  The leads in the Homan-Scott game curled well today.  Lisa Weagle (Ontario) curled a good 93% while her counterpart Sarah Wazney curled 86%.  Team Homan stole 1 in the 9th to clinch the win.  In a breathtaking game between Kristie Moore and Jill Shumay.  Moore had a 5-2 lead going into the 7th but couldn't hold on as she let Shumay steal 2 in 7 and 8.  Alberta made a game of it in the 10th, but Shumay made her final draw to seal the win.

7:30 pm Draw #7

The Scores

Crawford (New Brunswick) 5
Homan (Ontario) 7
Nedohin (Canada) 10
Devereaux (Newfoundland and Labrador) 3
Birt (PEI) 12
Shumay (Saskatchewan) 7
Galusha (Northwest 1 Territories/Yukon) 
Jones (Manitoba) 9
                       
I was at these games live.  Rachel Homan maintained her perfect record with a 7-5 win over Andrea Crawford and New Brunswick.  Crawford didn't make her shots in the 10th end and that cost her as Homan didn't need to throw her last rock.  Heather Nedohin only needed 7 ends to get by Stacie Devereaux 10-3.   Canada got 2 3's and stole 2 in the fourth for the win.  The big difference was that Jessica Mair curled really well today at 95% but her counterpart from Newfoundland, Lauren Wasylkiw, was only curling 57%. It looks like Newfoundland is having trouble with the ice.  The sweepers making some mistakes and the skip may be off a bit on the ice calls. Suzanne Birt picked up her second win in a row with a 12-7 win over Jill Shumay, ending her perfect record.  PEI got 2 3's in 7 and 9 to clinch the win for them.  Jennifer Jones defeated Kerry Galusha and her rink 9-1 in 8 ends.  Jones's team had 5 straight steals of either 1,2 or 3 to win the game.
