MONTREAL — With a playoff berth on the line, Stefanie Lawton of Saskatechwan fended off Kesa Van Osch of British Columbia 8-4. Lawton will join Chelsea Carey of Manitoba and Val Sweeting of Alberta, who each have 8 wins, and Rachel Homan of Team Canada, who remains undefeated at 10-0.

Homan narrowly avoided defeat at the hands of Lawton in the afternoon draw 7-6. Narrowly missing out on playoff spots are Van Osch (6-5) and Andrea Crawford of New Brunswick (6-4).

Friday’s final round-robin draw will serve to determine playoff seedings as Carey will face off against Prince Edward Island’s Kim Dolan and Lawton will take on Sarah Koltun of the Yukon-Northwest Territories.
