Homan rolls to 11-1 win in opening round of PointsBet Invitational

Rachel Homan's Ottawa-based team stole points in five ends, including steals of two in the sixth and seventh ends, en route to an 11-1 win over Shaelyn Park on Thursday at the PointsBet Invitational curling event in Oakville, Ont.

Homan, who is skipping the second-seeded team in the single-elimination event, was up 4-0 after three ends following a deuce in the first end and a steal of one in both the second and third.

Park, skipping the 11th-seeded squad from New Brunswick, got one back in the fourth, but Homan responded with two points in each of the next three ends.

Homan will next face the seventh-seeded team skipped by Isabelle Ladouceur, which advanced with an 8-6 win over No. 10 Serena Gray-Withers.

In other results, third-seed Jennifer Jones moved on with a 10-6 win over No. 14 Myla Plett. Jones will next face No. 6 Christina Black.
