It seems Kerry Galusha is good for one big result each year at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts.

This year, she took down one of the biggest fish in the pond and put herself in a very good position down the stretch in the process.

Galusha and her rink of Shona Barbour, Margot Flemming and Jo-Ann Rizzo took down Ontario's Rachel Homan on Wednesday morning in Calgary thanks to a 7-5 win. The victory gives Galusha a record of 3-3 while the loss was Homan's first of the event.

Not surprisingly, Galusha said it was a huge win.

SA国际影视传媒淭o be honest, beating Rachel wasn't in the cards for us,SA国际影视传媒� she said with a chuckle. SA国际影视传媒淲e were surprised to get the win and it's a big result.SA国际影视传媒�

Homan started with the hammer and scored a single to open up the game. After a blank in the second end, Galusha scored a single with last rock and then stole another in the fourth to take a 2-1 lead. Homan scored a deuce with hammer in the fifth but Galusha tied things up in the sixth with a single.

The seventh end, though, was the difference as Galusha stole a pair to take a 5-3 lead, a steal she called the turning point.

SA国际影视传媒淭hat steal was so big, especially against Homan,SA国际影视传媒� she said.

Homan got that two back in the eighth but Galusha would strike again in the ninth with the hammer as she scored two of her own and it could have been three had Galusha's final stone not rubbed one of Homan's sitting at the top of the four-foot.

A measurement was called to figure out the final result and it was Homan's which was closer to the button.

SA国际影视传媒淚 had no idea it was for three,SA国际影视传媒� said Galusha. SA国际影视传媒淚 was just thinking about hitting and getting two but then I saw how close it was.SA国际影视传媒�

The 10th end saw Galusha run Homan out of rocks to secure a big win.

Galusha said she was hoping to get a split between Homan and Alberta's Laura Walker.

SA国际影视传媒淲e lost to Laura and we played Homan tough and that's what you have to do,SA国际影视传媒� she said. SA国际影视传媒淲e got into trouble a couple of times against Homan but we made some big shots when we had to.SA国际影视传媒�

The ladies will take to the ice against Yukon this evening and it's a game which caused a banana peel one year ago for Galusha in Sydney, N.S., as Yukon won that meeting, seriously denting Galusha's playoff hopes.

She said even though Yukon is winless to this point, it's no gimmee.

SA国际影视传媒淵ou can't take them lightly,SA国际影视传媒� she said. SA国际影视传媒淭hey played Team Canada really tough (Wednesday morning) so nothing is guaranteed. We're going to go out and play them hard.SA国际影视传媒�

As it turned out, Yukon was no slip-up this time around as Galusha and company did the business by a score of 10-2, controlling the game from start to finish and never looking in trouble at any point.

The event is being played inside of a bubble at the Markin MacPhail Centre and the rules about coming and going from the venue are strict, said Galusha, and that includes interacting with her own teammates.

SA国际影视传媒淭he only time we see each other is either on the ice or going to and from the rink,SA国际影视传媒� she said. SA国际影视传媒淚t's a lot of alone time in the hotel room but we get to watch a lot of curling and when you aren't curling, you're doing your best to relax. It's literally eat, sleep and curl.SA国际影视传媒�
