Rachel Homan improved to 3-0 at the women's curling world championship with a 10-6 victory over the United States' Tabitha Peterson on Sunday in Sydney, N.S.

Canada entered the contest having earned 7-6 and 7-4 victories over Sweden and Denmark on the opening day of the tournament Saturday.

Homan's rink is one of three teams that remain undefeated, with Italy and Switzerland each at 2-0. "I think we're gelling together and we're at our top performance with team cohesion and communication," Homan explained after the game. "There's going to be misses as we learn the sheets.

It's tough to play 100 per cent throughout this amazing field, so it's feeling really good and we've got to keep going."

"It's a really great feeling to be able to battle with the best out here and we hope to make Canada proud." Without last rock for the first time in the tournament, the Canadians found themselves on their heels early on with the U.S.
