LACOMBE, Alta. — Rachael Homan’s Ottawa team, which includes vice-skip Tracy Fleury, second Emma Miskew and lead Sarah Wilkes, stole a single point in the 10th end to defeat South Korea 6-5 and win the women’s Pan Continental Curling Championship on Saturday night.

Homan’s Canadian squad had defeated Eunji Gim and the Koreans 8-2 in round-robin play on Wednesday.

Canada and South Korea traded deuces in the first two ends and Canada went up 3-2 with a steal of one in the fifth end.

The teams traded singles in the sixth and seventh ends and South Korea scored a deuce in the eight to go ahead 5-4. Canada was held to one point in the ninth and had to steal to win, which Homan did.

Homan curled 89 per cent in the final, while Gim finished at 75.
