Saskatchewan’s Amber Holland knocked Ontario’s Krista McCarville from the ranks of the unbeaten Monday at the Tournament of Hearts in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont.
Holland scored one in the 10th end to earn a 7-6 win over McCarville in the sixth draw.
The loss was McCarville’s first in four games at the Canadian women’s curling championship.
Defending champion Jennifer Jones is the tournament’s lone unbeaten team with a 3-0 record.
Her Canada rink didn’t play in the sixth draw but was scheduled to face Northwest Territories/Yukon on Monday afternoon.
McCarville is tied with Prince Edward Island for second, both rinks having 3-1 records. Holland improved to 2-2.
In the only other Draw 6 contest, Quebec’s Eve Belisle defeated Newfoundland’s Shelley Nicholls 9-3 in eight ends.
