LAS VEGAS -- Team North America helped its bid to become the first back-to-back winner in the history of the Continental Cup by winning two games and tying another in Saturday nights closing round of traditional team games. With the results, North America claimed 2.5 of the three available points, opening up a 17.5-12.5 lead in the overall standings. A total of 60 points are available, meaning the first team to 30.5 points will win the Continental Cup. As reigning champions, North America needs only 30 points to win. North Americas Jeff Stoughton of Winnipeg recorded the most crowd-pleasing win of the evening, using a double-takeout to score four en route to a 6-2 win over Team Worlds Niklas Edin of Sweden. "Its a good thing we listened to the crowd," said a laughing Stoughton. "We were just looking at how we could jam the rock. We were going to play the double the whole time. We wanted to see which way we wanted to hit it to miss the back two or at least jam off it so it was fun. It was nice to let the crowd influence you a little bit." In other action, Team North Americas Jennifer Jones of Winnipeg made a double takeout with her last rock of the game for a 6-5 win over Team Worlds Satsuki Fujisawa of Japan. "I wouldnt want anyone else throwing that rock," said Joness vice-skip Kaitlyn Lawes. "She had a fantastic game. She had draw weight in her pocket, she was making the big shots when we needed to come through -- when I would miss." In the other Saturday night game, Team North Americas John Shuster of Duluth, Minn., stole one in the eighth end when Team Worlds Thomas Ulsrud of Norway was just a hair tight with his last rock, producing a 6-6 tie and half a point for both sides. Skins games begin Sunday afternoon with Team Worlds Margaretha Sigfridsson of Sweden playing Team North Americas Jones, and Team Worlds Eve Muirhead of Scotland taking on Team North Americas Erika Brown of Oakville, Ont./Madison, Wisc.
