Team Canada, skipped by Rachel
Homan, lost 8-2 to Switzerland at the Ford World Women's Curling Championship.
The Swiss trailed 2-1 after five ends but Binia Feltscher made a wonderful shot
in the fifth end, a double takeout to score three. Switzerland put the game away
by stealing one more in the sixth, two in the seventh and one in the eighth end.
Switzerland
is tied with Allison Pottinger of the U.S. at 3 and 0 atop the round-robin
standings. Canada is in a four way tie for third with Russia, Sweden and South
Korea.
The
loss ended a 15 game winning streak for the Homan rink including an unbeaten run
at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts.
The U.S. takes on Sweden this
morning at 9:30 while the Swiss meet Latvia. Team Canada takes on Denmark this
afternoon at 2:30 and then the U.S. tonight at 7:30.
