"We've played a lot of games and have been in a lot of pressure situations if you want to call them that," Lawes told CBC's Devin Heroux. "What an opportunity. We're in a semifinal at the Olympic Winter Games."

Lawes and Morris have curled exceptionally well since the start of the tournament. Through seven games, Morris has maintained an accuracy of 82 percent, while Lawes follows closely at 76 percent.
