STRATFORD, Ont. - After nearly four years without a win at the Canadian junior curling championships, Nunavut teams have racked up two victories in less than 24 hours.

Arthur Siksik's team from Rankin Inlet ended a 33-game losing streak for Nunavut's men's team at the tournament with a 9-6 win over Matt Miller of the Northwest Territories on Wednesday.

The historic victory came after Sadie Pinksen's women's team beat the Northwest Territories 7-3 on Tuesday.

"Well, actually, I was half happy, half-disappointed," Siksik said with a laugh. "I wanted to be the first. I was being selfish. But it was good to see the girls win."

Pinksen's team, based in Iqaluit, was able to watch the final couple ends and join in the celebration with the Nunavut men.

Meanwhile, in the championship round, 2013 gold-medallist Matt Dunstone of Manitoba improved to 7-0.

Manitoba scored three in the fifth end en route to a 7-3 win over Alex Robichaud of New Brunswick, while B.C. scored a big three-ender in the eighth end and sailed to a 10-4 win over Ontario's Doug Kee.

In the other championship round games, Northern Ontario's Tanner Horgan (6-1) pulled into a tie for second with B.C., with a 6-4 win over Kee (4-4). Manitoba, B.C. and Northern Ontario are all assured of tiebreaker berths.

Saskatchewan's Jake Hersikorn (4-3) scored four in the 10th end for an 8-5 win over Quebec's Felix Asselin (4-3).

B.C.'s men's and women's teams both fell from the ranks of the undefeated in the night draw after victories earlier in the day. Sarah Daniels fell to Quebec's Laurie St-Georges 7-4 and Tyler Tardi dropped an 11-3 decision to Alberta's Karsten Sturmay.

"It was a tough game, and we played well — not our best game, but it worked," said St-Georges. " B.C. is a very good team, so to win this game was really important for us and we're really proud of that."

Quebec improved to 5-3 to remain in the chase for the three playoff spots. The first-place teams in each gender will advance to Sunday's gold-medal games, while the second- and third-place teams will meet in semifinals on Saturday.

B.C. and Nova Scotia's Mary Fay lead the standings followed by a pair of 6-1 teams — New Brunswick's Justine Comeau, and Manitoba's Abby Ackland, who beat Ontario's (3-4) Courtney Auld 8-6 Wednesday night.

Nova Scotia beat Quebec 8-3, while New Brunswick needed an extra end to beat Saskatchewan's Kourtney Fesser 8-7.
