Beth Peterson’s Assiniboine Memorial team was the only one to win all three of their championship round games and will advance to the Sunday playoffs of the Manitoba Scotties Tournament of Hearts presented by RME.
Peterson, the fourth seed in the competition, defeated both #2 Kate Cameron (Granite) and #3 Jolene Campbell (AMCC) as well as Zoey Terrick (Heather) in the team’s successful run to the playoffs.
Top seed Kaitlyn Lawes (Fort Rouge) lost Saturday morning to Campbell but bounced back to beat Cameron in an afternoon game which gave them a 7W-1L record and first place in the standings. With the win, the Lawes foursome earned the bye to the Sunday afternoon (2:00PM) final.
Cameron finished with a 6W-2L record, tied with Peterson, and the two will meet in the Sunday morning (9:30AM) semi-final.
With Peterson posting the third win Saturday afternoon, the only other team with a playoff hope was the Jolene Campbell team. A last round loss to Kristy Watling (East St. Paul) dashed the Campbell team’s hopes as they both finished with 5W-3L records.
