Northwest Territories added one in the seventh but gave it right back to Saskatchewan in the eighth.

“We were definitely fighting it, where to put the broom and the specific weights to throw in the first couple of games, but [now] we have a really good idea and are starting to place rocks now,” Dunstone said.

Losers of four straight, Northwest Territories called the match after eight.

Saskatchewan was coming off a 9-8 win over Team British Columbia earlier in the day.

Next up for Saskatchewan is Team Ontario at 1 p.m. on Tuesday. Ontario is 3-0 to start the tournament.
