Val Sweeting must be chomping at the bit for a matchup with fellow skip Michelle Englot when it matters most. Sweeting opened the Grand Slam of Curling event in Lloydminster, Sask., with losses to Casey Scheidegger, Kerri Einarson and reigning Scotties Tournament of Hearts champion Rachel Homan. After watching Michelle Englot battle back from a pair of two-point deficits, Edmonton skip Val Sweeting, pictured here, pulled away with four unanswered points late in Friday morning's match at curling's Masters for a 8-4 victory.

Sweeting went up 4-2 in the fifth end but Englot answered in the sixth with a score of two.
