WASHINGTON CURLING TEAM STILL ALIVE AT NATIONALS: Defending champion Washington maintained its lead in the 2003 USA Curling Mixed Nationals despite losing its first game of the round robin portion of the tournament.

The Brady Clark rink defeated Duane Symons’ North Dakota 2 rink 9-2 in Tuesday’s early draw, but in the afternoon round, they gave up four points in the fourth end en route to an 11-5 loss to Rick Tangedal’s North Dakota 1 rink.

The Brady Clark team defeated Wisconsin 11-5 in Monday’s early draw.
