Lawes and her foursome of Selena Njegovan, Jocelyn Peterman and Kristin MacCuish continue their strong debut season with two wins to open play at the Pintys' Grand Slam of Curling stop at the Coca-Cola Centre in Grande Prairie, Alberta.
Lawes has played four events so far this season, posting a 19-6 record with a win at the Mother Club Fall Classic, a runner-up finish in Oslo in September and two semifinal finishes already this season.
Lawes scored a single point in the first end, then stole two in the second end on Chelsea Carey and her Winnipeg-based team.
Lawes held Carey to a single point in the third end, then blew the game open with 3-points in the fifth end to lead 6-1. Three more in the seventh end forced handshakes and a 9-2 win.
Carey drops to 0-2 with the loss, losing 5-3 to Silvana Tirinzoni in their opening game. Lawes won 6-3 over Tabitha Peterson of the United States on Tuesday morning.
Next up for Lawes will be Korea's Eunjung Kim, while Carey will play Switzerland's Raphaela Keiser, both at 4pm MT on Thursday.
