Homan beats Lithuania, falls to Scotland on opening day at women's curling worlds
Ottawa rink is favoured to repeat as world champs after going undefeated at Scotties

The Canadian team skipped by Rachel Homan split its first two games Saturday at the women's curling world championship in Uijeongbu, South Korea.
Homan, from Ottawa, opened round-robin play with a 13-2 rout of Lithuania's Virginija Paulauskaite before dropping an 8-7 decision to Scotland's Sophie Jackson.
In the 10th end of the late game, the Canadian team of Homan, Tracy Fleury, Emma Miskew and Sarah Wilkes tried to remove a Scottish rock but it jammed in the back house.
Morrison took advantage by making a nose hit for three points and the victory.

"We made a lot of shots, but not enough for one of our worst performances," Homan said. "We can't give up a three in 10."
It was the opening game for the Scottish side at the 13-team competition.
"It's brilliant," Jackson said. "We're absolutely thrilled to get that first win. It almost felt like that [game] was a free hit, so we just went out and tried to play our best. We put together a really good last end.

"We've practised being two down in the 10th end a lot, so it's great to see that's paid off."
Sweden's Anna Hasselborg defeated Turkey's Dilsat Yildiz 8-1 to lead the standings at 2-0. Scotland was one of five teams at 1-0.
Hasselborg and Homan were scheduled to play Sunday morning at Uijeongbu Arena.
Homan is the defending champion at the nine-day event. She won gold last year in Sydney, N.S.
