Koe set up a rematch of last year’s Brier final with a 7-6 victory over Manitoba’s Mike McEwen in Saturday night’s semifinal. McEwen missed a double runback attempt to give Koe a single point in the extra end. Gushue advanced straight to the final on Friday night with his victory over McEwen in the Page playoff 1-2 game. McEwen scored one in the ninth and Koe forced an extra end with a double takeout for a deuce. “Just on the wrong side of the inch on a few of my shots,” Jacobs said.
