REDS Win Twice On Tuesday

(LETHBRIDGE, AB) After a lop-sided loss to start the U SPORTS Men's Curling Championships in Lethbridge, UNB's Jamie Stewart rink is back on track.

The REDS scored a pair of wins on Tuesday, the second day of competition at the national championship bonspiel.

In Tuesday's first game, the REDS scored three in both the 2^nd and 4^th ends to build a 6-3 lead on the Ravens. UNB then scored two in the 6^th and stole another point in the 7^th before shaking hands.

In the late draw, the Stewart rink stole two in the 4^th end but gave up three in the 5^th to trail 4-2. The teams traded points in the 6^th and 7^th ends before UNB took two in the 8^th end for the 6-5 win.

UNB is now 2-and-1 and in a two-way for third in the standings.

Wednesday sees the REDS facing a pair of Canada West opponents. In their first game, scheduled for 3:30pm Atlantic time, the Stewart rink meets Canada West finalists Calgary. The Dinos were 3-and-0 after completion of play on Tuesday. In the late draw, the REDS will face Canada West champs and defending U SPORTS champs, the Regina Cougars. The Cougars begin Wednesday with an 0-and-3 record. That game is scheduled to begin at 11:30pm Atlantic time.

Thursday, the final day of round robin play, will see the REDS face Brock and host Lethbridge.
