When asked if she believed it was her team’s best game of the tournament she replied with “100 per cent, by all four of us.”

“Jessie (Hunkin) curled real well last night (Sunday) and the rest of us curled good enough, but yes as a team, tonight (Monday) was a solid performance,” Silvernagle said.

With Alberta’s strong start to the Scotties, Silvernagle said it was important for Saskatchewan to give it everything they had.

“Sometimes when you know a team is playing really well, you know you have to bring your A-game and curl really well to keep up,” Silvernagle said.

Saskatchewan will turn their attention to a struggling Team Quebec, who owns a 0–4 record.

The two teams square off at 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
