North America holds slight edge over World at Continental Cup curling tournament
LONDON, Ont. — Team North America split the three points available in the three team games Saturday night to take a 15.5 to 14.5 lead over Team World at the Continental Cup curling tournament.
Kevin Koe, who will represent Canada at the Pyeongchang Olympics next month, skipped his Team North America squad to a 9-6 win over Team World’s Niklas Edin. In the other night games, Silvana Tirinzoni edged Team North America’s Michelle Englot 9-4, and United States skip John Shuster settled for a 7-7 tie with Team World’s Peter De Cruz.
Sunday’s final two sessions of skins games will decide the winner.
“Typically that’s the way these things go,” said Koe. “It’s a little heavily weighted towards the skins and that’s fine, you want it to come down to the big games on Sunday.
