Canada's Homan takes down Scotland to clinch top seed at women's curling worlds

The Canadian team's numbers speak for themselves at the women's curling world championship this week in Sydney, N.S.

A perfect 11-0 round-robin record. An overall shooting percentage of 88.2 per cent. An impressive 91 points scored to just 47 against.

Skip Rachel Homan, third Tracy Fleury, second Emma Miskew and lead Sarah Wilkes ran the table at the national championship and they're three wins away from doing it again at Centre 200.

Canada secured the top seed Friday afternoon with an efficient 8-2 win over Scotland's Rebecca Morrison. The result locked up a semifinal berth for the Ottawa-based side and ensured they'll be playing for a medal on Sunday.

"The bigger the game, the better they play," said team coach Don Bartlett. "And you can't teach that."

Homan scored three in the second end and stole a pair in the fifth when Morrison was light on a draw. Scotland conceded after the Canadian skip drew for a pair in the seventh.

Canada has been tested at times throughout the week. Homan opened with a 7-6 win over Sweden's Anna Hasselborg and needed an extra end for an 8-7 win over Italy's Stefania Constantini a few days later.

A plucky Turkish side was also a handful, forcing Homan to make a pair of tricky soft-weight raises in the 10th end for a 9-5 win that was closer than the score might suggest.

The Wilkes-Miskew front end has been in top form and Fleury has consistently set up her skip. Homan has appeared cool and confident no matter
