Canada’s Homan takes down Scotland to clinch top seed at women’s curling worlds


Canada’s Rachel Homan defeated Scotland’s Rebecca Morrison 8-2 to secure the top playoff seed at the women’s world curling championship in Sydney, N.S., on Friday.

The unbeaten Ottawa-based side scored three in the second end and stole a pair in the fifth end when Morrison was light on a draw.

Homan iced the victory with a draw for two in the seventh end. As the first seed, Canada will start the first end with hammer and have choice of stone colour through the playoffs.

Homan, Tracy Fleury, Emma Miskew and Sarah Wilkes have won all 11 round-robin games they have played at Centre 200. They’ll close out the round-robin schedule in the evening against South Korea’s Eunji Gim.
