Team Homan for the win over Nova Scotia. They’ve played 51 games this season. They’ve won 46 of those games. Undefeated through 8 games at the Scotties. @TeamHoman is THE team to beat.
Manitoba for the win. Cameron is into the playoffs after a 7-4 victory over BC’s Grandy. The playoff picture is set.
There have been so many special moments on the ice at the Scotties today. And these women epitomize class and grace and respect and everything good in sports. Congratulations to all of these women who are at the top of their games and so gracious in victory and defeat.

Rachel Homan is on another curling planet. Runback double for fun to score two. Ontario takes a 5-3 over Nova Scotia. This team is going to be extremely difficult to beat.
Cameron steals the 8th. She got a lucky after a miss. Now Grandy is up against it down 6-4 with hammer in the 9th. Winner advances. Loser it out.
Two for Cameron in the 7th end. Probably shouldn’t have measured for a possible three. Wasn’t all that close. To the 8th. Grandy has hammer down 5-4.

LAWES FOR THE WIN FIVE TEAMS TIE AT 4-4 And Team Lawes is into the final playoff spot based on Last Stone Draw tiebreaker.
Quebec for the win It’s a 9-6 victory over PEI So now a Lawes win and she’s in. A McCarville win she’s in.
Alberta for the win. It's an 8-5 final to lock up top spot in Pool A. Impressive curling by Sturmay in her Scotties debut. BC drops to a 4th loss. So the five-loss logjam is very much alive. And if Lawes wins she's in.
If five teams tie at 4-4. Lawes gets the final playoff spot. And that's still very much in play folks.
Quebec gives up a steal in the 9th end. But St-Georges has an 8-6 lead with hammer coming home against PEI.
Alberta is up 6-5 on BC heading home. And Sturmay has the hammer. An Alberta win clinches first in Pool A -- and drops BC to that all-important 4th loss.
McCarville with a clutch draw. Saved by the sweep. Against five. It's 5-4 heading to the 9th. Lawes has hammer -- and if the scores hold... Lawes will be the last team in the playoffs after a five-way tiebreaker. Or can Northern Ontario come back in this game?
Einarson for the win. It's a 12-4 win for Canada over Newfoundland and Labrador. The 4-time defending Scotties champions with a 7-1 record and will either be first or second in Pool A.
Lawes with a perfect draw for THREE It's 5-3 Manitoba heading to the 8th end. McCarville has hammer.
Big moment here for Lawes in the 7th. Chance for 3. Here we go.
Alberta for two in the 8th. It's a 6-4 AB lead over BC's Brown.
Canada leads Newfoundland and Labrador 8-4 heading to the 8th end. Einarson with hammer and still have a shot at first place with a win and an Alberta loss.
After all of that. It's a steal for McCarville. Northern Ontario leads 3-2 heading to the 7th end. Lawes has hammer.
BC's Brown forced to a single in the 6th end. It's tied 4-4 heading to the 7th. Alberta has hammer.
Newfoundland and Labrador playing some great curling. Beat Alberta last night. And now just stole the 4th to tie it 2-2 with Canada. Einarson with hammer in the 5th end.
McCarville JUST missed for four. It’s just a single. All tied 2-2 heading to the 5th. Lawes has hammer.
BC’s Brown with a single in the 4th end. It’s now tied 3-3. Alberta with hammer in the 5th end.
PEI steals the third end. And after Quebec jumped out to a 3-0 lead it’s now 3-2. Saskatchewan needs a few things to go its way including a Quebec loss.
Alberta goes up 3-2 on BC heading to the 4th end. If Sturmay wins, she’ll lock up first in Pool A and play Jones in the first playoff game tomorrow afternoon.
Throw all the scenarios in Pool A away. It’s pretty simple now. If NO wins— they’re in. If BC wins and NO loses— Brown is in. If Lawes beats NO and Brown loses— Lawes is in on Last Stone Draw after five teams tie at 4-4.
Mystery no more. If all five teams in Pool A finish 4-4 then Team Lawes is advancing on Last Stone Draw. Here are the final rankings. https://t.co/R5dZDlEOOu
