TAARNBY, Denmark – Canada’s women’s team remained undefeated while the men scored a pair of big victories Wednesday at the world junior curling championships.

Led by skip Mary Fay of Chester, N.S., Canada’s women stole one in the 10th end to complete a 5-3 win over the United States. That moved Canada to 6-0, top of the women’s standings along with South Korea. The two leaders will face off in Thursday’s early draw.

Canada’s match with the U.S. came down to the last stone, and Fay escaped with the win when American skip Cory Christensen just missed on her final shot.

“That was an intense game for sure and they made a lot of great shots,” Fay said. “It’s good to have those games and have that kind of intense experience. It’s great to be at the top and to pull off a win like that, it’s great for your confidence — it makes you feel that you can be there at the end of the week.”

Meanwhile, the Canadian men improved to 4-2 and moved into third place with two lopsided wins.

Matt Dunsotne’s Winnipeg rink set the tone four points in the first end en route to a 12-2 rout of South Korea in Wednesday’s morning draw.

Later, Canada hammered Denmark 9-1 in a match capped by a decisive four-point sixth end.
