Team Homan wins nail-biter versus Korea to earn Pan-Continental Curling Championship
In its debut at the Pan-Continental Curling Championship, the team of Rachel Homan, Tracy Fleury, Emma Miskew and Sarah Wilkes stole a point in the tenth end to win the gold medal game, 6-5 versus South Korea.
The reigning world champs played a back-and-forth match, trading points before equalizing the score in the ninth with a double for one, and winning it in the 10th end.
“We knew it would take 10 ends to beat them and we got a couple mistakes from them late and could capitalize on that,” Homan told Curling Canada. “(…) it was a great game by them and it took us every shot to steal the win.”
