Kathy O’Rourke is taking Prince Edward Island to the final of the Scotties Tournament of Hearts for the first time.
O’Rourke’s rink defeated Ontario’s Krista McCarville 10-6 in the semifinal Saturday in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., to advance to Sunday’s final against two-time defending champion Jennifer Jones.
O’Rourke took an early 5-1 lead through three draws and gave small ground en route to the victory.
