Rachel Homan drops 2nd straight match at Canada's Olympic curling trials
CBC
Defending champion Rachel Homan of Ottawa was in an early hole at Canada's Olympic curling trials after dropping a 9-5 decision to Krista McCarville on Sunday in Saskatoon.
The result left Homan (0-2), who lost her opener to Jacqueline Harrison, with a steep hill to climb in round-robin play at the SaskTel Centre.
A third loss could still be enough to make the playoff cut in the nine-team women's field. Higher-seeded opponents await Homan's rink in round-robin play, which continues through Friday.
As pre-trial winners, McCarville and Harrison are the two lowest-seeded teams in the women's draw.
In other games, Jennifer Jones improved to 2-0 with a 10-2 rout of Harrison (1-1) and reigning Canadian champion Kerri Einarson moved to 1-1 with a 10-5 victory over Casey Scheidegger (1-1).
Laura Walker (1-1) posted a 9-3 win over Kelsey Rocque (0-1) in the other early matchup.
A men's draw was scheduled for the afternoon with the women returning to the ice in the evening.
