Day 7 at the Scotties – Friday, February 22
All teams had two games today to end the round robin. Saskatchewan and New Brunswick, needed to go 2-0 on the day and hope for a BC loss so there would be some tie breakers for the fourth playoff spot.

Stacie Devereaux took 11 ends to earn her second win this week, in a game against Allison Ross from Quebec. Devereaux's 3 in the 9th helped Newfoundland with the win. Even with the quick start of 3 in end 1, BC ended up in a close game against Galusha of the Territories. Galusha stole 3 1's in ends 2,8 and 9. New Brunswick kept their playoff hopes alive with an 8-6 win over Nova Scotia. New Brunswick got more deuces than Nova Scotia did. The ratio was 3-1. Jodie de Solla curled 99% in this draw and is the star player of the draw. Jennifer Baxter curled 81%. Both leads had pretty good numbers, but it was de Solla who carried New Brunswick for the win! Andrea Crawford still needs a win in the 2 pm draw against Manitoba and a BC loss to qualify for a tiebreaker. PEI scored an 8-4 win in 9 ends over Alberta, adding to the disappointments this week for team Moore. PEI stole 2 in the 2nd, stole 3 in the 8th and an extra in the 9th for the win.

Jennifer Jones survived a scare as she just held on with a 7-6 win over New Brunswick to keep her perfect record intact. Jones survived giving up two in the 7th and 3 consecutive 1 point steals from New Brunswick in ends 8-10. Dawn Askin was a big part in this win because she curled the best at 93%. Jodie de Solla, who had a 99% game last draw, curled only 71% this draw. This loss for New Brunswick eliminates them from playoff contention. Rachel Homan had no problem defeating Suzanne Birt of PEI 10-2 in 7 ends. Homan got 2 3's in ends 1 and 5, a 2 in 7 and a steal of 2 in 2. This loss eliminates Suzanne Birt from contention as well. Jill Shumay was in tough against Stacie Devereaux of Newfoundland 8-7 in 10. Shumay stole 1 in 5 for the small difference. Kerry Galusha pulled off the upset and defeated Team Canada 10-8. This same result happened last year as Galusha beat Nedohin during the Round Robin. Galusha took 3 in 5 and stole 2 in 10 for the win.

Heather Nedohin almost beat Rachel Homan for her second loss, but instead it was a close 6-5 win for Rachel Homan. She stole 1 in the 3rd. Kristie Moore lost for the 10th time in 11 games as Team Arsenault won 6-2 in 8 ends, in what might be their final game for good. I don't know but maybe we'll see them back in Montreal next year! Arsenault stole 1 in 4 and 2 in 7. Allison Ross didn't finish her Scotties in style as she lost 9-5 to BC. BC got a 3 in 3 and a 3 in 7. Sasha Carter curled 94% in this draw and Brittany O'ROurke curled 74%Jennifer Jones ran Jill Shumay out of rocks in the 10th end to win the game by a final score of 8-4. Jones improves to 11-0 while Shumay drops out of contention at 6-5. Jones stole 2 in ends 5 and 6 each for the victory!
