Northern United posted a sweep of the Typhoon Curling Club on Thursday afternoon to move to the top of the Rock League standings.

A day after allowing the first sweep in Rock League history in a loss to the Alpine Curling Club, Bruce Mouat’s Northern team rebounded to improve to 3-1 in the league’s inaugural event.

Mouat led Northern’s men to a 10-4 win over Typhoon’s Niklas Edin.

Kristin Skaslien and Yannick Schwaller downed Tori Koana and Tsuyoshi Yamaguchi 8-5 in mixed doubles action, and Isabella Wrana’s women’s team won a draw shot challenge shootout after finishing tied 6-6 with Anna Hasselborg after seven ends.

The victory gave Northern 3.5 points, one more than Alpine (2-1, 2.5 points). Alina Paetz’s team had a chance to go back in front when it played Maple United (1-2, one point) in Thursday’s late game.

Earlier, Brad Jacobs and the Shield Curling Club beat the Frontier Curling Club 2-1. Shield improved to 2-1 with two points, while Frontier had a 1-3 record and one point.

Teams get one point for a win, plus an extra half-point for a sweep.

The inaugural event at Toronto’s Mattamy Athletic Centre runs until Sunday. The competition offers US$250,000 in prize money, with $100,000 going to the winning team.
