| AOMORI, Japan - Round one to Scotland, as Canada lost their first game of the week to finish the round-robin at the 2007 World Women's Curling Championship.
The battle of Kellys saw Wood defeat Scott 7-5 on a string of four consecutive steals, but the playoff picture was untouched. Scott finished first at 10-1 and will meet Denmark's Angelina Jensen, who finished second at 8-3, in Saturday's "Page Playoff" match, with the winner moving into Sunday's final.
Wood, also 8-3 claimed third and battles the 2006 silver medallist, Debbie McCormick of the United States (7-4) in Friday night's Page 3 vs 4 Playoff. The loser is eliminated and the winner is into the semifinal versus the first Page match loser.
Scott's loss didn't faze her.
"Better now than in the playoffs," Scott said.
"That's the same record we had at the Scotties (Tournament of Hearts)." |
(Mar 23, 2007) -- AOMORI, Japan - Round one to Scotland, as Canada lost their first game of the week to finish the round-robin at the 2007 World Women's Curling Championship.
The battle of Kellys saw Wood defeat Scott 7-5 on a string of four consecutive steals, but the playoff picture was untouched. Scott finished first at 10-1 and will meet Denmark's Angelina Jensen, who finished second at 8-3, in Saturday's "Page Playoff" match, with the winner moving into Sunday's final.
Wood, also 8-3 claimed third and battles the 2006 silver medallist, Debbie McCormick of the United States (7-4) in Friday night's Page 3 vs 4 Playoff. The loser is eliminated and the winner is into the semifinal versus the first Page match loser.
Scott's loss didn't faze her.
"Better now than in the playoffs," Scott said.
"That's the same record we had at the Tournament of Hearts (Canadian championship)."
The Danes lost their final tilt 8-4 to Italy, while Seden defeated Russia 9-7 and Germany downed the Czech Republic 6-4.
Earlier, Italy upset Scotland 9-7, Switzerland dumped China 9-4 and host Japan ended with a flourish, thrashing the United States 7-1.
The Canadians have nearly two full days off, and second Sasha Carter is looking forward to some rest and relaxation.
"Shopping," Carter declared. "And fresh air. You're tense at the start of an event so you don't really get out and see anything. This is our chance."
