TORONTO – Northern United rebounded from being on the wrong side of the first sweep in Rock League history with a sweep of its own in a win over the Typhoon Curling Club on Thursday afternoon.
A day after getting swept by Alpine Curling Club, Bruce Mouat’s Northern team improved to 3-1 in the league’s inaugural event.
Mouat led Northern’s men to a 10-4 win over Typhoon’s Niklas Edin.
Kristin Skaslien and Yannick Schwaller downed Tori Koana and Tsuyoshi Yamaguchi 8-5 in mixed doubles action, and Isabella Wrana’s women’s team won a draw shot challenge shootout after finishing tied 6-6 with Anna Hasselborg after seven ends.
The victory gave Northern 3.5 points and a short time atop the standings. Team Alpine (3-1, 3.5 points) went back in front thanks to a 2-1 victory over Maple United (1-3, one point) in Thursday’s late game.
Earlier, Brad Jacobs and the Shield Curling Club beat the Frontier Curling Club 2-1. Shield improved to 2-2 with two points, while Frontier had a 1-3 record and one point.
Teams get one point for a win, plus an extra half-point for a sweep.
The inaugural event at Toronto’s Mattamy Athletic Centre runs until Sunday. The competition offers US$250,000 in prize money, with $100,000 going to the winning team.
