TAARNBY, Denmark – Canada’s Mary Fay is still undefeated at the world junior curling championships after a pair of wins on Tuesday.

Fay and her rink from Chester, N.S., defeated Turkey 10-3 in the morning draw. They followed that up by scoring four points in the fifth end to down Hungary’s Dorottya Panalcsa 9-3 later in the day.

“I have faith in my team that they can play well and compete against all of these teams,” Fay said. “But there’s a lot of great teams here and any one of them can take the championships. I think it’s going to come down to who can play well for the whole week.”

The Canadian women are atop the standings with a 5-0 record.

On the men’s side, Winnipeg’s Matt Dunstone gave up five points in the eighth end and fell 7-2 to Switzerland’s Yannick Schwaller.

“It was just one end,” said Dunstone. “We had control of the game early on and just couldn’t capitalize on a couple of opportunities in that eighth end obviously, so it was just one bad end.

“I think we can take a lot of positives out of how we played today.”

The loss drops Canada to 2-2 in round robin play and sixth in the standings.
