Homan comes up light on a draw for two.

And so that keeps Black in this thing for now.

It’s 4-1 heading to the 7th end. Black has the hammer.
November 28, 2025 at 7:00 PM
I've never seen a curling house look like THAT

And Christina Black makes a clutch draw against three to stay alive.

And that makes it 3-0 after four ends. Black just not able to connect on a long runback for two.

Here’s our @rockchannelcurl recap: bit.ly/4rjoPaZ
Men Semi-Finals Recap of Montana’s Canadian Curling Trials (Thursday, Nov. 27, 2025)
From almost packing up to punching their ticket to the Olympic Trials final, Team Dunstone completes one of the most dramatic turnarounds of the week at the Montana’s Canadian Olympic Curling Trials. In front of nearly seven thousand fans, Dunstone survived one of the wildest last ends you will ever see, edging Team McEwen in a semifinal that had the entire Scotiabank Centre holding its breath. This recap features both sides of the moment. Matt Dunstone and Colton Lott reflect on an emotional 24 hours, the gratitude of getting a second chance, and the freedom they felt playing in a packed building with everything on the line. Mike McEwen delivers a classy, candid breakdown of the chaos in the tenth end and the pride he takes in his team after an exceptional week. The stage is now set. Team Homan meets Team Black in the women’s best-of-three final, and on the men’s side, it is Dunstone versus Jacobs in a showdown that connects past inspiration with present opportunity.
