The Deb Aadland rink from the Shaunavon Curling Club opened up the SaskPower Scotties Southern Playdowns with a loss today.

   They dropped their opening match to the Mandy Selzer foursome from Balgonie 7-6 in extra ends. Aadland was down two in the 10th, but used the hammer to her advantage to score two to force the extra. Selzer then scored one in the 11th on her last rock to take the win.

   Aadland takes on the Shannon Linton team from Regina in B-Event action this afternoon.
