Rachel Homan and her Team Ontario rink took care of business against Quebec on Tuesday to improve their record to 6-0 and set up a three-way showdown with Team Canada and Manitoba which are also undefeated through nine draws at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts.

After getting off to a slow start, the Ontario foursome stole three points in the third end after Homan threw a perfect takeout through a narrow port forcing Quebec skip Allison Ross to try a difficult draw to the four foot that came up short.

Homan scored two more points in the fifth end to go up by four and then kept things clean the rest of the way forcing Quebec to concede after the ninth end.

Homan's lone game today is against Saskatchewan this afternoon. The afternoon draw will also see either Team Canada or Manitoba drop from the ranks of the unbeaten as the two rinks faceoff against each other.

Homan will get her chance against Manitoba's Jennifer Jones tomorrow followed by Heather Nedohin and Team Canada in the final round on Friday.
