Homan defeats Einarson to claim PointsBet Invitational title

Rachel Homan defeated Kerri Einarson 9-7 to claim the PointsBet Invitational title on Sunday in Oakville, Ont.

Ottawa's Homan used a three-point ninth end to break a 6-6 tie and eventually win the women's final.

The victory earned Homan's team $50,000. Homan missed her side's season-opening win at the Saville Shootout in Edmonton in September while she spent time with her now five-week-old son Briggs, with Heather Nedohin standing in as the skip.

"I guess my team can win with any skip," joked Homan. "The team is firing, and we're just going to try to keep getting better with every game. Heather was an awesome super-spare for us, and we just continued that on."

"Rachel is amazing — I'm continually in awe of her," added second Emma Miskew. "And the team played great; it was nice to have all of us back."
