CALGARY — Canada’s Kerri Einarson broke open a close game with four points in the eighth end of a 9-3 victory over Japan’s Satsuki Fujisawa at the Pan Continental Curling Championships.

Einarson, from Gimli, Man., made a runback with her final stone to put the game out of reach.

She iced the victory with a steal of one in the ninth end to improve to 6-1. Japan fell to 6-2 in round-robin play.

In men’s play, Brad Gushue of St. John’s, N.L., was scheduled to face Randie Shen of Chinese Taipei later Friday at the WinSport Arena. Einarson was to close her round-robin schedule against South Korea’s Seungyoun Ha.

The competition, which continues through Sunday, serves as a qualifier for the world championships later this season.
