For the second time this week, Thunder Bay's Krista McCarville rink has knocked off defending champion Tracy Fleury at the Northern Ontario Scotties in Timmins, Ont.

She'll have to do it one more time to earn a trip to Alberta and a chance to compete at the Canadian women's curling championship.

McCarville, lead Sarah Potts, second Ashley Sippala and third Kendra Lilly stormed back Saturday from a 5-2 deficit to down Fleury 8-6, scoring a pair with the hammer in the ninth to tie the match 6-6, then stealing a pair in 10 to earn the victory.

With the win McCarville finishes the round robin portion of the event at 6-0. Fleury dropped to 4-2, her other loss a 7-6 defeat on Thursday to her Thunder Bay opponent.

The two teams will meet Sunday morning in a winnner-take-all final at 10 a.m.
