Sask. women steal victory at the M&M Meat Shops Canadian Juniors

Canadian Junior Women

(CCA) Saskatchewan, skipped by Trish Paulsen of Saskatoon, won the women’s final of the M&M Meat Shops Canadian Juniors Saturday evening, stealing a deuce in the 10th end for a nail-biting 6-4 victory over Alberta’s Nadine Chyz of Calgary.Just as she had done in her 7-6 semi-final win earlier in the day against Manitoba’s Breanne Meakin of Winnipeg, when stealing for the win, Paulsen forced Chyz to make a shot with her final stone…a soft hit and roll to the button.

 But Chyz hit it too thin and rolled too far, allowing the ‘Green Machine’ and their fans to celebrate wildly at the North Hill Community Curling Club.

“We pulled it off, that’s all I can say,’ said the 20-year-old Paulsen, a Human Resources student at the University of Saskatchewan. “We played strong in both games. We were oddly calm coming into this game after the semi-final. That was a tight game, a nail-biter, and we ended up stealing, so we knew we could do it again in this game. Click for full story at the CCA website
