After losing a pair of hard-fought games against top-seeded teams, Team Ely has won three in a row at the USA Curling Junior Nationals in Fairbanks, Alaska.

Tuesday's game against Team Lindgren from Grand Forks, N.D., was another thriller. Lindgren led, Ely tied it up, Lindgren went out ahead again, Ely tied it again and then had a strong finish to win 7-4.

The women's and men's round-robin competitions continue through Thursday, after which the top teams go into playoffs. The champions will represent the U.S. at the 2011 World Junior Championships March 5‐13 in Perth, Scotland.
