Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, shame on you.

Given a second chance at a raise take-out, Team Canada's Chelsea Carey made no mistake the second time around, propelling her team into the playoffs with a 9-4 victory over Scotland's Eve Muirhead.

Leading Muirhead 5-3 in the eighth end, Carey had a runback attempt to score, but was unable to catch shot rock, giving up a steal of one, while seeing her lead shrink to 5-4, however in the following end Carey had no problem sticking a runback attempt to score four points and end the game.

"I was thinking I'd missed it in the last end and I'm not going to miss it again,'" said Carey. "I mean I'd just thrown it so it was the same throw, nice clean throw and lots of deep breaths and kind of let your body do what you've trained it to do when I'm at the rink throwing hundreds of rocks a week.

The team celebrated after Scotland had conceded the game, which was a special moment for Carey.

"That's easily the coolest thing I've ever experienced right there. The crowd is just amazing. I mean come on, it doesn't get better than that in sports, I don't think. I can't say enough about Swift Current and the crowds it's been absolutely incredible. Bar none, the best thing I've ever experienced," she said.

However, it was not a day full of smiles for Team Canada.

In their afternoon draw, the Canadians were thumbed by Team Japan 11-2, which according to Third Amy Nixon led to a team meeting.

"We all sat on beds in Chelsea's room between games and we had some powerful moments," said Nixon. "Some swear words, some high fives, some tears and everything around the block.

"It was a very powerful moment for our team."

With the victory, Team Canada (8-3) finished round robin play in fourth place. They will now battle Anna Sidorova and Team Russia (8-3) in the 3-4 Page Playoff game on Saturday.

In the 1-2 game, which will be played Friday night at 7:00pm, top seeded Switzerland (9-2) led by Skip Binia Feltscher will take on the surprise of the tournament in Satsuki Fujisawa and Team Japan (9-2)

This year marks just the third team that Japan has qualified for the playoffs at the women's world championships and the first time they have qualified for the 1-2 Page playoff game.

Japan's last trip to the playoffs came in 2008.
