Quarterfinals conclude on men’s side, four sent packing including Mouat
It took an extra end for Sweden’s Niklas Edin to defeat Scotland’s Bruce Mouat in the men’s quarterfinals this afternoon at the Civic Centre.
It was a back and forth affair throughout the matchup, but Edin was able to take it to the last rock with an empty house to draw in for the win. The game was back and forth throughout the matchup, and Mouat says that it felt like one of those games that was going to go either way, regardless of what happened on the ice.
“We had a chance for two in the last end, but we didn’t manage to set up that end,” he said. “We were struggling with a lack of guards, so we really couldn’t find any hiding spots.”
Through and through, the tournament can be looked at as a success for Mouat. The group played strong throughout the tournament, but just couldn’t keep it going through the quarters.
