Carey will play twice Sunday. She’ll face Germany’s Daniela Jentsch in the early draw before taking on Latvia’s Iveta Stasa-Sarsune in the evening draw.

Carey is attempting to give Canada a rare three-peat at the women’s world curling championship. The country is chasing a third straight tournament title after unbeaten runs by Winnipeg’s Jennifer Jones last year and Ottawa’s Rachel Homan in 2017.
