CALGARY — Alberta’s Laura Walker advanced to the semifinal of the Canadian women’s curling championship with a 9-8 win over Manitoba’s Jennifer Jones in Sunday’s tiebreaker game.
Walker faces defending champion Kerri Einarson in an afternoon semifinal with the winner taking on Ontario’s Rachel Homan for the championship at night.
Jones missed an attempted double takeout in the 10th end, which left Walker an open draw to score three for the win in the tiebreaker.
Manitoba and Alberta were tied for third at 9-3 after the championship round, which required a tiebreaker game to solve.
