Corryn Brown and her team of Erin Pincott, Sarah Koltun and Samantha Fisher are only one win away from qualifying at the RBC Dominion Securities Western Showdown. After dropping their first game, the BC rink won back-to-back games to enter the B semifinals where they faced Winnipeg's Chelsea Carey.

Starting with hammer, a strong first end by her team left Corryn Brown an open hit for three points. However, her throw was a bit wide and rolled out, resulting only in a score of two. She then made up for it in the second end with a steal of one to go ahead by three.

In three, things got better for the BC squad when Chelsea Carey's final draw went heavy, giving them two more points. Carey finally got on the board in four with a draw for one to trail 5-1 at halftime.

Team Brown added to their total with two more points in the fifth end to extend their lead to 7-1. After Carey managed just one in the sixth end it was handshakes with Brown securing a dominant 7-2 win in game four in Swift Current.
