They advanced to a 5-2 lead during the sixth end, demonstrating their strategic charm as Jacobs’ third player, Marc Kennedy, executed a flawless hit and roll shot. Despite Germany scoring three in the ninth end, they couldn’t level the game, ending in a 7-5 victory for Canada. With this performance, Jacobs solidified Canada’s position as a formidable contender, currently standing alongside Scotland, China, Czech Republic, and Switzerland as one of five teams holding a perfect 2-0 record.
