    Tournament hosts Latvia were still looking their first win of the competition when they face the daunting task of taking on joint leaders Scotland.

    The Scots controlled the game from start to finish and their skip, Eve Muirhead, drew into the open side of the house in the seventh end to score three and take a substantial 8-4 lead.

    When Scotland scored one point with a hit in the ninth end to take the score to 9-4, Latvia conceded.

    Japan conceded after the next end with the score at 10-3 to the USA.

    Sweden, who had to recover from suffering their first defeat earlier in the day, met Canada in Tuesday's final game.

    Swedish fourth Maria Prytz hit for one point in the sixth end to take a 3-2 lead and then in the tenth, Prytz hit out the only Canadian stone in the house to score four points.
