THUNDER BAY, Ont. — Manitoba’s Kaitlyn Lawes recovered from a tough loss at the Canadian women’s curling championship with a 12-3 win over provincial rival Kate Cameron.

Lawes had given up steals in seven ends, which was a Scotties Tournament of Hearts record, in an 8-2 loss to Quebec to start the tournament.

Quebec’s Laurie St-Georges improved to 2-0 in Pool B with a 12-3 victory over Northwest Territories’ Kerry Galusha.

Ontario’s Danielle Inglis was an 8-7 winner over Brooke Godsland of Newfoundland and Labrador. Nova Scotia’s Christina Black joined Inglis, Lawes and Cameron at 1-1 after a 9-8 loss to Yukon’s Bayly Scoffin.

Yukon was 1-0, while Galusha and Godsland dropped to 0-2.

The 18-team field is divided into two pools with the top three in each advancing to the championship round. The four Page playoff teams will emerge from that group of six.
