Kallos and teammates Jessica Williams, Laura Vieira and Oye-Sem Won opened a 4-1 lead in the fourth, then stole one more in the fifth to take a 5-1 lead at the break. Auld cut her deficit in half with two in the sixth, but the two teams traded points in the seventh and eighth, Kallos maintaining a two-rock advantage.
In Monday’s opener the Kallos rink fell 7-5 to Listowel’s Allison Flaxey.
Flaxey, Julie Hastings and Julie Reddick top the standings at 2-0.
