Team Walker earns spot at Canadian Olympic curling trials with win over Team Brown
CBC
The women's and men's fields for the Olympic curling trials in Saskatoon are getting a little more clear after two bonspiels this weekend in Ottawa.
Edmonton's Kelsey Rocque and Laura Walker as well as Casey Scheidegger of Lethbridge, Alta., have all booked their tickets to the prairie city for the trials in late-November after finishing in the top-three of the trials direct-entry event.
The three teams join already qualified Kerri Einarson of Gimli, Man., Tracy Fleury of East St. Paul, Man., Ottawa's Rachel Homan and Winnipeg's Jennifer Jones.
Scheidegger was the first women's team to earn their spot with a victory over B.C.'s Corryn Brown on Saturday.
"We are ecstatic to be back at the trials. It's been a very long off-season for us, but we did as much as we could off the ice," Scheidegger told CBC Sports.
After starting 2-0, Walker lost her next two games and needed a Sunday victory over Brown to earn a spot in Saskatoon.
After dropping the first game to Brown 9-8 in the extra end, it came down to a final showdown between the same two teams later on Sunday to decide the final spot.
