North Battleford, Sask. — Casey Scheidegger defeated reigning Canadian and world champion Jennifer Jones Thursday afternoon at the 2019 Meridian Canadian Open.

The 8-4 victory came thanks to a four-point second end that allowed the team some breathing room early on.

Asked about the key to success on the afternoon, Scheidegger was quick to credit her teammates.

“That’s all I can ask, is that they go out there and make a lot of shots and they did that,” she said. “I was really happy with their play.

The victory for the 2017 Meridian Canadian Open champion came on the back of a Wednesday night loss against Scottland’s Eve Muirhead.
