SASKATOON — Kerri Einarson stayed alive at the Canadian Olympic curling trials with an 8-6 win over Casey Scheidegger in a tiebreaker Saturday.
Einarson’s foursome scored three points in the 10th end to escape with the win and moved on to face Krista McCarville in a second tiebreaker Saturday afternoon.
The multiple tiebreakers were necessary after Einarson, Scheidegger and McCarville finished the round-robin tied for third place at 4-4.
