Homan wins semifinal to reach Olympic Trials final, McEwen wins men’s semi
OTTAWA — Beating Jennifer Jones in the round-robin finale gave Rachel Homan the hammer for their rematch in the semifinal at the Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings.
The victory also appeared to give Homan and her Ottawa teammates peace of mind.
Coach Adam Kingsbury noticed it as soon as he arrived at their rental house on the outskirts of town Saturday morning. That feeling carried over into their 6-3 victory over Jones in the afternoon.
“There was a sense of purpose, calmness, and I felt it,” Kingsbury said.
