Alberta earns opening draw win over Ontario at Scotties Tournament of Hearts
PENTICTON, B.C. — Alberta’s Casey Scheidegger kept it simple to begin the Scotties Tournament of Hearts with a victory.
Scheidegger’s rink from Lethbridge, Alta., opened the women’s national curling championship Saturday with a final-end 6-5 win over Ontario’s Hollie Duncan.
“The excitement is great but we’re really good at coming back down and playing that level headedness that we kind of know and stick to. This is one game. We have got to come back out firing.”
Ontario drew to score two and make it 5-5 heading into the final end at the South Okanagan Events Centre, but Scheidegger made a draw to clinch.
