Jolene Campbell’s Saskatchewan rink will end its run at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts this year with its Thursday afternoon game.

The team, featuring Robyn Silvernagle at third, Rachel Big Eagle at second and lead Dayna Demmans, was eliminated from playoff contention Wednesday night with a loss to Ontario’s Hailey Armstrong.

Campbell blanked the first end, then the teams traded singles and deuces through the first half of the game.

Ontario managed to steal one in the seventh end after getting two in six.

Going into the 10th end, Ontario led Saskatchewan 6-4 but Campbell had hammer. Armstrong ended up stealing two to finish the game 8-4.
