The PEI women’s team, skipped by Lisa Jackson from the Cornwall Curling Club, recovered from their first loss (5-3 to Sask.) on Wednesday afternoon at the Travelers Curling Club Championship in Ottawa, with a lopsided 21-0 win over Nunavut in the late draw. The Island squad scored an eight-ender, very rare in national championship play, in the first end, and stole six in the second, putting the game out of reach after only two ends. Ontario leads the women’s standings at 4-0, while PEI, Sask., BC, Alberta and N. Ont. all have one loss. PEI has only one round robin game left, tonight at 9:30 Atlantic, against undefeated Ontario.

In the men’s section, Freddy Fraser and his Western Community Curling Club team sit at 2-2, after a 4-2 win over Sask. on Wednesday afternoon, and an 11-2 loss to Ont. in the 6 pm draw. The Island squad play play Nova Scotia at 11 this morning, and finish the round robin against Quebec at 6 pm.

Newfoundland and Labrador are the only undefeated men’s squad, at 5-0, while BC, Yukon, and Manitoba all have one loss in Pool B, and 5 teams, including PEI, trail NL with 2 losses each in Pool A. The top three teams in each pool make the playoffs, so the PEI men are still very much in contention.

The 14 men’s and 14 women’s teams are split into two seven-team round-robin pools. After a single round-robin, the top three teams in each pool advance to the playoff round. The first-place teams will be seeded directly into the semifinals, Friday, Nov. 27, at 7:30 p.m. (all times Atlantic). The second- and third-place teams will meet in crossover quarter-finals Friday at 2:30 p.m, with the winners moving into the semis.

The gold and bronze-medal games are set for Saturday, Nov. 28, at 11 a.m.
