Scheidegger beats Einarson in wild-card game at Scotties Tournament of Hearts
SYDNEY, N.S. — After a 36-hour cross-country trip to get to the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, Casey Scheidegger wanted her appearance to last more than one game.
A draw to the four-foot ring for the win did the trick.
Scheidegger held off Kerri Einarson 7-6 in the wild-card game Friday night to earn the last berth in the women’s national curling championship.
“It’s very emotional,” Scheidegger said. “You saw the girls were super emotional. It’s like winning a provincial final. We have a lot less time to turn it around but I’m hoping we can use that to our advantage and settle in quickly.
