Alberta's Marks defeats Quebec's Gauthier at junior curling championship

LANGLEY, B.C. — Alberta's Abby Marks defeated Quebec's Noemie Gauthier 8-0 in six ends Friday to secure a tiebreak berth at the Canadian junior curling championship.

Marks (6-4) will play New Brunswick's Melodie Forsythe (6-4) on Saturday for a spot in the semifinals against Nova Scotia's Taylour Stevens (8-2).
