Rachel Homan, Canadian teammates rally for 3rd consecutive win at Pan Continental event

Canada's Brad Jacobs improved to 3-0 at the Pan Continental Curling Championships with a 14-6 win over South Korea on Wednesday in Virginia, Minn.

Tied 5-5 through five ends, the Calgary-based foursome broke the game open with four points in the sixth and added five more in the eighth.

The victory came despite a strong first half from South Korea's Soo-Hyuk Kim, whose rink pushed the Canadians early before fading after the fifth-end break.

Jacobs, vice-skip Marc Kennedy, second Brett Gallant and lead Ben Hebert combined to shoot 93 per cent, led by Kennedy at 95.

Canada next faces New Zealand's Sean Becker (0-3) later Wednesday at the Iron Range Motors Event Center.

Meanwhile in women's action, Ottawa's Rachel Homan (2-1) defeated Mexico's Adriana Camarena (0-3) 9-3. Canada set the tone early with three in the first end.

Homan plays twice Thursday, facing South Korea's Eunji Gim (1-2) and China's Rui Wang (3-0).

The Pan Continental is a regional qualifier for the men's and women's world championships in 2026.
