Black, who finished 7-4, defeated Winnipeg’s Kate Cameron 10-6 but then had to wait for the result of Winnipeg’s Kaitlyn Lawes versus Calgary’s Kayla Skrlik. When Lawes struck for a huge four-ender to win the game 9-6, the Scotiabank Centre exploded in joy.

The Jumbotron then showed Edmonton’s Selena Sturmay, who was also eating behind her sheet after defeating B.C.’s Corryn Brown 9-4.

Sturmay’s face wore a pained expression, as she would have qualified in place of Black – thanks to Last Shot Draw rankings – had Lawes lost her match.

Sturmay and Lawes also finished at 7-4, while Skrlik finished 2-5 and Cameron 1-6.
