Silvernagle wins second straight Scotties provincial title

Jan 28, 2020 | 5:48 PM

Robyn Silvernagle has repeated as Saskatchewan’s women’s curling champion.

Silvernagle and her North Battleford team of Stefanie Lawton, Jessie Hunkin and Kara Thevenot won their second straight provincial title Tuesday with an 8-5 victory over Saskatoon’s Sherry Anderson in the Viterra Scotties final at the Horizon Credit Union Centre in Melville.

The last back-to-back champion in Saskatchewan was Lawton, who won titles in 2014 and 2015 when she skipped her own team.

With the victory Tuesday, Silvernagle earned the right to represent Saskatchewan in the Scotties Tournament of Hearts. The Canadian women’s curling championship tournament is slated for Feb. 15-23 at Mosaic Place in Moose Jaw.

After a blank in the first end Tuesday, Silvernagle scored one in the second. Anderson put up a deuce in the third, but Silvernagle replied with three in the fourth to take a 4-2 lead.
