Dubberstein and Pfister were denied an outright medal after falling prey to Japan’s Tori Koana and Go Aoki in the semifinals, 10-3, at the Harbin Pingfang Curling Arena on Friday. It will be a tall order, though, as Dubbersten and Pfister absorbed their only loss in the group round at the hands of China’s Han Yu and Wang Zhiyu, with the hosts going unbeaten to automatically qualify for the semifinals.
Dubbersten and Pfister have won five of their seven matches, going 4-1 in group play and then toppling Chinese Taipei, 7-2, in the quarterfinals earlier on Friday.
