The match remained tight throughout, with Switzerland using the hammer to their advantage. Swiss vice skip Alina Pätz was nearly perfect with a 99% shot success rate, keeping the Americans off the scoreboard. In the 10th and final end, the U.S. had one last chance but Pätz denied any hope of extra ends and delivered a two.
Switzerland will play for gold on Sunday against Sweden. The U.S. will look for its first-ever medal in women's curling since the event was added to the Olympic program in 1998.
