It was a close match that had the teams battling back and forth on the
scoreboard. With the score tied in the eighth end, Lawton was able to
secure her victory with a steal of one point, when Chelsea Carey just
missed a thin pick for the win.

Carey made a clutch runback double in the seventh end, forcing Lawton
to take a single point and give Carey the hammer in the final end,
scoring two points in the third and sixth ends, but was unable to
overcome two stolen ends by Lawton.

Lawton beat Shannon Kleibrink in the quarterfinals and Anna Sidorova of
Russia in the Semifinals on her way to the final.

Runner-up Chelsea Carey recorded another championship final appearance
to go with her win in Red Deer last week. Carey defeated Michele
Jaeggi in the quarterfinals and Rachel Homan in the semifinals.

Jaeggi defeated Calgary’s Crystal Webster rink in the first playoff round to advance to the quarters.
