Tanja Huberli, Switzerland – “It was important for our mentality because we had two tough games the first three days. Today we had a really big step forward. We had a good game and were really constant. That gives us a lot of confidence for the upcoming days. Today was a little bit different because we were assured of being in the knockout round. We felt really strong as a team and didn’t have many mistakes.”
Nina Betschart, Switzerland – “We knew that we had to play better today to beat them. I think it was good for us to already have a fight yesterday to be under pressure. They (Canada) had won really easy in their first two games, so maybe it was hard for them to get a little bit of pressure today.”
Heather Bansley, Canada – “I’m pretty disappointed in how we played today. We gave Switzerland a lot of points. It was our mistakes, I think we beat ourselves more than they beat us. I won’t take away that they played well. Our goal was to win our pool and we didn’t do that so that’s disappointing. But we do make it on so we’re excited for the playoffs.”
Brandie Wilkerson, Canada – “We came in knowing that this wasn’t a make it or break it for us. We just had more pressure on ourselves to keep performing at a high level. We tried our best out there. We knew they were going to come out there with some heat and we prepared as much as we could. I know for me personally if I’m making some errors we can’t expect to win. It’s just about fixing those little things and smoothing out for the next game and learning from that.”
