1995 Scott Tournament of Hearts : Canadian Women's Curling Championship
Max Bell Centre -- Calgary, Alberta
Final - Sunday, February 26, 1995
The two-time Canadian and world champion Sandra Peterson (Team Canada) rink
from Regina was attempting to win their third consecutive Canadian
championship in Calgary. After round-robin and tiebreakers, the top
four teams were:
W-L
Manitoba 10-1
Canada 8-3
P.E.I. 8-3
Alberta 8-3
"Page" playoff system
Man def Can : Man bye to final, Can in semi-final
Alb def PEI : PEI out, Alb in semi-final
Semifinal : Alb def Can 7-5
In the semi-final, the Alberta rink from Edmonton led by skip Cathy Borst
(former 2-time Canadian junior champion : 1977,1978) played giantkiller
as they took a huge four in the 8th end and went on to defeat the Peterson
Team Canada rink 7-5. For Borst, this was her first Scott final.
There was some controversy over the newly initiated "page" playoff
system (listed above). With the tiebreakers and the playoff game vs PEI,
Alberta, for example, played 5 games in a span of 27 hours.
By virtue of their victory of Canada in the first playoff game, Manitoba
won the bye to the final and met Alberta. Manitoba this year was led by
two-time Canadian champion (1984,1992) and world champion (1984) skip
Connie Laliberte from Winnipeg. For Laliberte, it would be a fantastic
opportunity to overcome last year's Scott final loss to Sandra Peterson.
A very tight game throughout, the game (as predicted by Laliberte)
would come down to the final rock. Borst's final rock in the 10th end
was a draw behind the just-off-centre-line-guard and came to the top-4
but was about another foot light from being completely buried. Seeing
about 3/4 of the rock, Laliberte came down with about back ring weight
on her final stone, took out the Borst rock and came to within a few inches
of rolling her own shooter out of the back rings to blank the end.
Her shooter stayed for the winning point.
Man 100 102 010 1 - 6
Alb 001 020 101 0 - 5
Laliberte heads just down the road from her home in Winnipeg
to Brandon to represent Canada in the 1995 World Championships.
