PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE — The Kerri Einarson curling team from Gimli has been near-impossible to defeat this season, but Chelsea Carey’s crew from Edmonton found a way Sunday.
Carey, a former Winnipegger and the 2016 national Scotties champion while playing out of Alberta, beat Einarson 7-5 in the final of the Canad Inns Women’s Classic 32-team bonspiel.
The Carey quartet, with third Sarah Wilkes, second Dana Ferguson and lead Rachel Brown, posted a big three in the second end and led 5-2 after four. The teams traded singles and then Einarson scored a deuce in the seventh end to pull to within a point, but Carey sealed it with a single in the eighth and final end.
Einarson’s new team of third Val Sweeting, second Shannon Birchard and lead Briane Meilleur has been red-hot to begin the 2018-19 competitive season, winning four events and finishing runner-up in Portage this weekend.
The local team defeated Scotland’s Eve Muirhead and Satsuki Fujisawa of Japan earlier Sunday to set up a meeting with Carey in the final.
