Canada’s Kadriana and Colton Lott scored six in the sixth end to clinch a 12-5 win over Scotland at the world mixed doubles curling championship on Tuesday in Östersund, Sweden.

The husband-and-wife team from Gimli, Man. scored three in the second end and stole another in the third after the Scottish duo of Sophie Jackson and Duncan McFadzean opened with a single.

Later with Canada in control leading 6-2, Scotland applied some pressure by scoring three in the fifth end to cut the lead to one.

The Lotts fully extinguished the Scottish comeback with a score of six in the sixth.

Canada improved to 5-0 with the victory to move into a tie with Sweden atop Group B. Those two teams were scheduled to meet later Tuesday.
