U.S. curlers end Games tune-up
Special to the Deseret News
LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA — Led by skip Kari Erickson, the U.S. women's Olympic curling team completed its pre-Games competition by finishing second in the Lethbridge Bonspiel held last weekend in Lethbridge, Alberta.
U.S. Curling Association athlete development director Ed Lukowich said the team played well, despite the fact that Erickson was suffering from a bad cold and was unable to play in the semifinal or final.
Substituting in her place was the team's fifth player, Joni Cotten, who skipped (called the game strategy) but delivered the lead stones.
Ann Swisshelm, Stacey Liapis and Debbie McCormick each moved a position to deliver the second, third and skip stones, respectively.
The Americans lost 8-2 in the final but won their four preceding games by lopsided margins, outscoring their opponents 38-7.
"All of the players on the Erickson team were in excellent form," remarked Lukowich.
