CALGARY -- Nadine Chyz needed some late-game heroics to stay undefeated at the Canadian junior curling championships.
The Calgary skip scored one in the 10th end as Alberta narrowly defeated Prince Edward Island 5-4 in Wednesday's 10th draw.
Chyz improved to 9-0 with the win but had to fight for this one. She had a 3-1 lead after six ends, but P.E.I. skip Sarah Fullerton scored two in the seventh to tie the game. Chyz went up 4-3 after eight ends, but Fullerton came back with one in the ninth to set up the dramatic final end.
In men's action, Saskatchewan's Braeden Moskowy also improved to 9-0 after a 5-2 win over Newfoundland and Labrador's Colin Thomas.
Despite remaining unbeaten, neither of the leaders could widen the gap over their closest competitors.
Saskatchewan's Trish Paulsen (7-2) kept pace with Chyz with a 9-2 victory over Newfoundland's Erin Porter, while Ontario's Mat Camm was a 10-7 winner over Northern Ontario's Cody Johnston. Camm is also at 7-2.
