It was a day mixed of mixed results for sa国际传媒 in curling, with Rachel Homan coming back to beat Switzerland's Silvana Tirinzoni 10-8 while Kevin Koe fell 8-6 to Switzerland's Peter De Cruz.

Ottawa's Homan scored three points in the ninth end and stole a single in the 10th as sa国际传媒 improved to 2-3 with a second consecutive victory.

Tirinzoni missed both of her shots in the ninth and Homan delivered a hit to move into the lead. The Swiss skip was heavy with her final throw in the 10th to give sa国际传媒 a point and the victory.

"We made some huge shots, some really precision soft-weight shots," Homan said. "We had to make (them) and we had to make them all."

Koe, meanwhile, suffered his second straight loss to fall to 4-2. He was coming off a 5-2 defeat against Sweden a day earlier.

Benoit Schwarz, Switzerland's vice-skip who throws fourth stones, scored four points in the opening end for a commanding early lead. Schwarz's big score was set up by a missed shot from Koe.

"I thought the start sucked. What more can you say?" said Koe. "You give up four in the first end, especially missing the way I did. That was the game."
