PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. — Canada’s Kerri Einarson improved to 3-2 at the women’s world curling championship with an 8-4 win over Denmark on Monday.

The host country faces Japan (4-0) in its lone game Tuesday at the CN Centre.

Denmark scored two in the fifth end to lead 3-2, but the Canadians countered with three in the sixth and a steal of two in the seventh to take control of the game. The Danes conceded after nine ends.

Einarson was bolstered by the play of third Val Sweeting, who played her best game of the championship so far with 94 per cent shooting accuracy, and second Shannon Birchard at 97 per cent.

The top six teams at the conclusion of the round robin Friday advance to playoffs. The top two seeds earn byes to Saturday’s semifinals, with third through sixth playing off that day to join them.
