Defending champion unbeaten in Cloverdale

Scott improved to 4-0 (won-lost) and leads the 10-team competition after four of nine draws.
Fox went into the match knowing a win would vault her group into a share of the Scotties lead, but fell behind 8-0 after just five ends.
Patti Knezevic of Prince George of Marla Mallett of the host Cloverdale Curling Club remain a game back of Scott after their wins in Draw 4 Tuesday evening.
Knezevic scored one in the 10th to edge Allison MacInnes of Abbotsford 8-7, while Mallett handled Roberta Kuhn of Vernon 9-3. Both winners improved to 3-1.
