KAMLOOPS — Corryn Brown’s TRU rink needed the hammer again in the 10th end to win on Tuesday night, but their second win of the day is sending them to U SPORTS women’s curling championship game.

The Wolfpack scored one in the final end to defeat Brock University 8-7 to reach the final against the University of Alberta for the third time in four years. The Pandas won 8-3 over Mount Allison in the other semi-final.

The Wolfpack gave up two to start the game, but bounced back with a deuce in the second end. TRU then stole points in back to back ends, taking two with Brock holding the hammer in the third and one in the fourth to lead 5-2.

The Badgers got to within one with a deuce in the fifth end, and after the teams exchanged single points from the sixth to the eighth end, Brock scored another two to even the game 7-7.
