Scott needed only nine ends to defeat Gaudet and six to beat Bernard.

"It hasn't taken too much of a toll in emotional exhaustion just yet, and that's good," Scott said.

Saskatchewan's Jan Betker posted a 6-5 victory over Kerry Koe of the Northwest Territories/Yukon in the afternoon to remain undefeated.

Ontario's Krista Scharf defeated B.C.'s Kelley Law 7-5 in the afternoon and beat Quebec's Chantal Osborne 9-8 in an 11-end thriller in the evening.

"It's crazy," said Scharf. "It's so awesome winning a game like that. But we can't do this all week."
