British Columbia needn't dwell on their 10-4 loss to Nova Scotia this afternoon; they'll have a chance at revenge in less than 24 hours.
The last playoff spot in Pool B will be determined in a tiebreaker game tomorrow (Feb. 20) at 6 a.m. (Kamloops-time), against the very Mary-Anne Arsenault rink that kept Corryn Brown's team out of the championship round with a win today.
Prince Edward Island avoided having to face B.C. in the tiebreaker themselves, edging out Northwest Territories 8-7 in the final end to secure third in the group.
With that win, @NSCurl has forced a tiebreaker! Here's how it will shake down.

If @peicurling wins this game against N.W.T., it's @CurlBC vs. @NSCurl in the tiebreaker. If P.E.I. loses, it's B.C. vs. P.E.I.#STOH2020 pic.twitter.com/bY7HIjTzB8
It was an up and down day for Team B.C. Their fifth, Victoria's Dailene Pawerchuk, was called into action today after second Dezaray Hawes came down with the flu.
But they opened the day with an 8-6 win over Newfoundland and Labrador to set themselves up for a win-and-in match against Nova Scotia. In the end, both teams finished the round-robin at 4-3.
Rachel Homan's Ontario team and Jennifer Jones' Wild Card squad also made the championship from Pool B, each finishing with a 6-1 record.
The winner of tomorrow's tiebreaker will then move on to play the winner of Pool A at 10:30 a.m.
