Canada’s Homan beats Lithuania, falls to Scotland on opening day at women’s worlds
UIJEONGBU-SI — The Canadian team skipped by Rachel Homan split its first two games Saturday at the LGT world women’s curling championship.
Homan, from Ottawa, opened round-robin play with a 13-2 rout of Lithuania’s Virginija Paulauskaite before dropping an 8-7 decision to Scotland’s Sophie Jackson.
In the 10th end of the late game, the Canadian team of Homan, Tracy Fleury, Emma Miskew and Sarah Wilkes tried to remove a Scottish rock but it jammed in the back house.
Morrison took advantage by making a nose hit for three points and the victory.
