Quebec’s Laurie St-Georges set a Scotties Tournament of Hearts record for the most stolen ends in a game with seven in an 8-2 win over Manitoba’s Kaitlyn Lawes.
St-Georges stole one in the first end, and after a blanked second, scored single points in ends three to seven.
Her team stole another two in the eighth before Lawes scored two in the ninth and shook hands.
WATCH | Who is Rachel Homan the curler, and mom?:
The Canadian curler has spent years under the spotlight as an athlete. But CBC Sports’ Devin Heroux takes us behind the scenes to see who she is off the ice.
In other games in the first Pool B draw at the Canadian women’s curling championship, Manitoba’s Kerri Einarson was a 6-4 winner over Brooke Godsland of Newfoundland and Labrador, Manitoba’s Kate Cameron doubled Kerry Galusha of Northwest Territories 8-4 and Nova Scotia’s Christina Black downed Ontario’s Danielle Inglish 7-5.
The 18-team field was divided into two pools with the top three in each advancing to the championship round. Those six teams will play off for the four Page playoff berths on the final weekend.
The winner of this year’s title represents Canada in next month’s women’s world championship in Uijeongbu, South Korea.
