Scots bounce back against Lithuania after losing to Sweden

World Women’s Curling Championship

Dates: 15-23 March 2019 in Uijeongbu, South Korea

Scotland won the South Korea World Women’s Curling Championship for the third time.

After falling to Sweden earlier on Tuesday, Sophie Jackson’s rink defeated Lithuania 9-2.

The Scots have won three games so far this campaign and are still in opposition to China, Japan, Turkey, Japan, and the United States.

To advance to the play-offs, a top-six position is required.

We had a tight game against Sweden this morning, where we largely controlled the scoreboard but sadly let it go with a score loss in the ninth quarter, according to Jackson.

“We can take so many advantages out of that game, though. We have just played two teams that are both world champions and former Olympic champions in three of our previous five games, and we have never lost. We are thrilled with our level of performance and have just to keep believing that the victories will come.

We kept our focus and adhered to our processes to keep us sharp for the rest of the week, which we did in the game against Lithuania.

“We look forward to play-offs every single game, but we know we have the ability to come out on the right side of those games.”
