Silvernagle improves to 3-1 at Scotties
The Robyn Silvernagle rink used draw one at the Viterra Scotties Tournament of Hearts as “learning game,” but it appears the North Battleford foursome took the lesson to heart.
After dropping game one of the Viterra Scotties Tournament of Hearts Tuesday, the rink has reeled off three wins including two on Wednesday. Prince Albert’s Kara Thevenot, who plays lead for the team, said every member of the rink is finding their game.
“We’re putting our rocks in really great spots, we’re making a lot of team shots and putting pressure on the other side,” Thevenot told northeastNOW.
The Silvernagle rink trailed Candace Chisholm by a pair early before scoring a deuce in the fifth end to tie the contest at 3-3. After a blank end in the sixth, Chisholm scored one in the seventh but Silvernagle also scored a single in the eighth. The Battleford rink took a 6-4 lead, scoring two in the ninth end, but Chisholm forced an extra end with a pair in the tenth. Thevenot said they weren’t worried with playing another end in back-to-back games.
