Stacie Curtis, the two-time defending provincial champion, is 3-0, while Heather Strong carries a 2-0 record into Thursday’s fourth draw at the provincial Scotties Tournament of Hearts ongoing at the Remax Centre/St. John’s Curling Club.

The winner of the event represents the province at the national women’s championship Jan. 27-Feb. 4 in Penticton, B.C.

Seven teams are curling in this year’s provincial Scotties, all of them from the Remax Centre. That’s a big improvement from even a few years ago when as few as three teams were vying for the provincial women’s championship.

Mackenzie Glynn is 2-1, while Kelli Sharpe and Beth Hamilton are 1-1. Cindy Miller and Rebecca Roberts are both winless in three starts.

A champion will be decided Saturday. Tie-breakers, if necessary, go 9:30 a.m. Saturday, with the semifinal slated for 2:30 p.m. The final is set for 7:30 p.m. Saturday.

If a team needs to beaten twice, a second final will go at 1 p.m. Sunday.
