A Campbell River curler is through to the championship round at the BC Mixed Doubles Curling Championships.

Karly King Simpson and partner Connar Croteau, of Victoria, beat the Nelson duo of Kristina Little and Nathan Small in an eight-end tiebreaker 6-4.

Both teams had a 5-2 record in Pool B after seven games of pool play at the provincial championships in Hope.

With the victory, King Simpon and Croteau advance to the championship round. As the number two team from Pool B, they will face the second-place team from Pool A, Kayla Wilson and Troy Cowan, also from Vancouver Island.
