In the third end, Jacobs hit and stuck for three points on their last to take an early 5-1 lead. Purcell was only able to grab their single drawing to the eight-foot. Jacobs made an open hit and stick for their single in the fifth. Unable to find a deuce, Purcell found the eight foot for another single point in the sixth. Jacobs kept firing, getting another deuce playing a two foot tap to the button. Purcell found their first deuce of the game in the eighth, scoring 8-5 after eight. In the ninth end, Jacobs' final rock for four picked, giving a steal of one for Purcell. Ultimately, Jacobs made a pick double on his last to grab two more and a 10-6 victory. As a team they curled 89%, individually: Brad curled 90%, Marc curled 94%, Brett curled 84%, and Ben curled 91%. Jacobs went a perfect 8-0 through a round robin.
