Dominance Continues in Women's Curling

This victory marks Homan's third consecutive Grand Slam women's final win against the top-ranked Swiss team.

Homan's team, based in Ottawa, finished the tournament undefeated with a 7-0 record.
The team includes Rachel Homan (skip), Tracy Fleury (third), Emma Miskew (second), and Sarah Wilkes (lead).
They earned $42,000 from the prize purse.

"Yeah, it's an unbelievable feeling, especially winning a game that was a battle out there for both teams," said Homan. "It's just really fun to play such an amazing team, and being able to pull out the win is an awesome feeling."

Swiss Team Performance

The Swiss squad, skipped by Tirinzoni with Alina Pätz, Carole Howald, and Selina Witschonke, suffered their only loss of the week in this final and won $34,000.

Tirinzoni’s team holds an 18-3 record in this Grand Slam season, with all three losses coming to Homan.
They started with the hammer and aimed to avoid mistakes like those in the previous CO-OP Tour Challenge, where an early error led to a four-point steal by Homan.

"It was a battle out there for both teams," reflecting the close competition of the final.

The outcome solidifies Homan's position at the pinnacle of women's curling with an unmatched Grand Slam title record.
