Homan defeated Jennifer Jones and her Winnipeg-based team 8-4 in Saturday night’s women’s semifinals to earn a berth in Sunday’s championship game. She’ll play Silvana Tirinzoni’s crew from Switzerland, who beat Kerri Einarson’s Gimli, Man., team 6-3 in Saturday’s other semifinal.
On the men’s side, Joel Retornaz’s foursome of Italy defeated Brendan Bottcher and his Calgary teammates 7-6 in an extra end in one men’s semifinal, while Ross Whyte of Scotland beat Yannick Schwaller’s Switzerland foursome 9-4 in the other semifinal.
Earlier on Saturday in the men’s quarterfinals, Whyte defeated Brad Gushue’s crew from St. John’s, N.L., 5-2; Schwaller defeated Matt Dunstone’s crew from Winnipeg 6-4; Bottcher rocked Magnus Ramsfjell’s team from Norway 8-3; and Retornaz defeated Reid Carruthers’ crew from Winnipeg 5-1.
In the women’s quarterfinals, Jones defeated Anna Hasselborg of Sweden 5-3; Homan beat Isabella Wrana of Sweden 8-3; Einarson got by Eun Ji Gim of Korea 6-4; and Tirinzoni defeated Tabitha Peterson of St. Paul, Minn., 5-3.
