In their second game today, Team BC took on Team North West Territories.  They started off the game with a similar strategy, blanking the first three ends, followed by a score of three points in the fourth end.  Team North West Territories blanked the fifth end and Team BC stole one in the sixth.  Team North West Territories got their first point in the seventh; however, Team BC took another two points in the eighth, followed by a steal in the ninth.  Team BC would take the game 8-1.
