by Jon Bois

After losing its first four matches, Team USA won its second straight curling match on Saturday. In the eleventh end, American Jason Smith executed the game-winner to vault over Sweden, 8-7.

In the seventh end, Sweden scored three times to take a 6-5 lead, but the Americans hung tough thanks to a clutch shot by John Shuster. Shuster returned to action after being benched on Friday.
