THUNDER BAY, Ont. — The race for playoff spots at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts was a fight to the finish.

While defending champion Rachel Homan, Alberta’s Kayla Skrlik and B.C.’s Corryn Brown secured spots early in Pool A, the three playoff teams from Pool B remained in flux heading into the final draw of that pool.

Ontario’s Danielle Inglis falling 8-6 in an extra end to Manitoba’s Kerri Einarson and Quebec’s Laurie St-Georges dropping a 7-6 decision to Nova Scotia’s Christina Black in the morning draw kept multiple scenarios in play.

Einarson, Inglis and Black were 5-2 with a game to play, while St-Georges finished 5-3. Manitoba’s Kate Cameron and Kaitlyn Lawes were still in contention at 4-3.
