LAWES, CAMERON LEAD SCOTTIES TOURNAMENT OF HEARTS WITH 6W-0L RECORD

Posted on by

Six teams have advanced to the Championship Round of the Scotties Tournament of Hearts presented by RME in Morden.

Kaitlyn Lawes (Fort Rouge) and Kate Cameron (Granite) solidified a hold on a Sunday playoff position by improving their perfect records to 6W-0L to lead the way.

Trailing by three after giving up a four-ender to Kate Cameron, Kristy Watling fought back to tie with a steal of two on the eight end. Watling made two great draws (red) behind a Cameron stone biting the front four foot circle and Cameron (yellow) slid by to give up the steal. It was not enough as Cameron took two back on the ninth end enroute to victory

Lawes defeated Zoey Terrick’s Heather team while Cameron was a winner over Kristy Watling, scoring a four on the sixth end for a three point lead and then scoring two on the ninth after Watling had tied the score. Terrick and Watling have 3W-3L records.

Beth Peterson (AMCC) pulled even with Jolene Campbell (AMCC) and both are in the playoff chase after Peterson’s evening win over her clubmate gave both a 4W-2L record.

The top three teams in each pool advanced from the preliminary round-robin to play each of the teams from the other pool. They carry their records forward and after the three game round, the top three will advance to a playoff round with the top team earning a bye to the Sunday afternoon final.
