U.S. skip Debbie McCormick struggled again today in the U.S. Women’s Olympic Curling team’s match against the undefeated Canadians, and finally conceded after the seventh end, down 9–2.

McCormick missed several key shots, giving the Canadian team help they certainly did not need. McCormick had troubles with line and weight, and made some questionable strategy calls. In one case, she simply missed calling the obvious best shot, giving away three points.
