Saskatchewan’s Silvernagle falls to Quebec at Scotties

Saskatchewan’s Robyn Silvernagle fell to 1-3 at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts on Monday.

The team from North Battleford lost 9-5 to Quebec’s Laurie St-Georges at the Canadian women’s curling championship in Kamloops. Saskatchewan has four games remaining in the round-robin and, with just three teams advancing to the playoffs from each pool, is in must-win territory.

Silvernagle opened the scoring Monday with a deuce in the second end, but St-Georges responded with one in the third, two in the fourth and one in the fifth to take a 4-2 lead.

After the Saskatchewan champions scored one in the sixth, St-Georges put up a deuce in the seventh. Silvernagle scored one in the eighth and stole one in the ninth, but the Quebec champions scored three in the 10th to seal the victory.
