McCarville still in contention at Scotties

Krista McCarville is in control of whether or not her rink moves on at the Ontario Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Waterloo.

The Thunder Bay foursome on Friday scored a7-2 Draw 8 win over Jacqueline Harrison. With one match left, Friday night against Sherry Middaugh, McCarville (4-4) must win to earn her way into a tiebreaker. As many as four teams could finish with 5-4 records when round robin play concludes.

McCarville, Ashley Miharija, Sara Lang and Kari Lavoie scored three in the sixth end to break open a 1-1 game.

Rachel Homan leads the way at the Kitchener-Waterloo Granite Club with a perfect 8-0 record, knocking off Cathy Auld Friday afternoon in a first-place battle by an 8-4 count. Auld, at 6-2, has already clinched a playoff berth.

Julie Hastings strengthened her playoff chances in Draw 8, at the expense of Thunder Bay’s Marlo Dahl (0-8) whose winless week continued with a 7-3 loss.

Hastings and Middaugh are tied for third at 5-3.
