Anderson wins in extras to keep Scotties playoff hopes alive
As Sherry Anderson dug into the hack for in the 11th end in Friday night’s 2016 Viterra Scotties Tournament of Hearts match against Mandy Selzer, she had the game and her team’s playoff hopes in her hand.
The Prince Albert Golf and Curling Club was silent, except for the muffled sound of Roy Orbison’s “Oh, Pretty Woman” sneaking through from the lounge upstairs.
But Anderson, who’s been inducted into the Prince Albert Sports Hall of Fame, did not buckle under the pressure. Instead, she made a ‘pretty’ shot right on the button to seal the 11-10 win over Selzer.
More importantly, it improves Anderson’s record to 2-2, meaning a win over Michelle Englot (3-1) in the final round robin draw Saturday at 10 a.m. would force a tiebreaker.
