(CCA) Braeden Moskowy’s Regina foursome clinched first place in men’s at the M&M Meat Shops Canadian Juniors in Calgary, defeating Ontario’s Mat Camm of Ottawa, 9-7 in a hard-fought, topsy-turvy Draw 12 affair.

Not only did Moskowy’s Callie Curling Club team earn a bye to Sunday’s final, but it also remained unbeaten at 11-0, with a final round robin match against Alberta this evening.

In women’s, though, Calgary’s Nadine Chyz lost to British Columbia’s Dailene Sivertson of Victoria, 9-7, after the Alberta skip missed a raise with her last stone for the win.

The victory not only kept Sivertson’s playoff hopes alive, as her team is now 7-4, but it was also the first loss for Alberta, now at 10-1.

Chyz will play Saskatchewan’s Trish Paulsen of Saskatoon in tonight’s final round robin draw, with first place and a bye to Saturday evening’s final on the line. That’s because Paulsen defeated Ontario’s Clancy Grandy, 8-5, to improve to 9-2.

Meanwhile, Sivertson plays Manitoba’s Breanne Meakin tonight, with third place and a semi-final berth on the line. Meakin defeated Yukon, 9-4 to remain in the hunt. Whatever happens, it means there will not be any tiebreakers on the women’s side, since New Brunswick lost to Quebec, 7-6, to drop to 6-5.

In other women’s games, Newfoundland/Labrador defeated Northwest Territories, 15-1, while Northern Ontario clipped Nova Scotia, 6-5 in an extra end.

PEI’s Sarah Fullerton (6-5) and Spencer Pitre (4-7) rinks will not make the playoffs, and wrap up their play tonight against Nova Scotia.
