New Brunswick emerges atop crowded Pool B at Canadian mixed curling championship
Sylvie Quillian’s rink improved to 7-1 after a 5-3 win over Saskatchewan and a 6-5 comeback against Alberta.
Saskatchewan split its games on Thursday at the Canadian Mixed Curling Championship in Prince Edward Island, with the Regina Highland rink seeking to improve its championship pool standing.
Skipped by Tyler Hartung, the Regina Highland rink fell 5-3 to New Brunswick's Sylvie Quillian in its opening match before rebounding with a 6-5 victory over Nova Scotia's Brent MacDougall.
Trailing 4-2 after five ends against Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan rallied with three points in the sixth end to take a 5-4 advantage before sealing the victory in the eighth.
Hartung's foursome—featuring Christie Gamble, Jayden Shwaga, and Stasia Wisniewski—now holds a 4-4 record and sits tied for sixth in the championship pool standings.
Saskatchewan returns to the ice Friday morning against Manitoba at 8 a.m. Saskatchewan time, then faces British Columbia in the afternoon to continue pool play.
