Jennifer Jones downs Scheidegger for PointsBet curling women's title

Jennifer Jones won the women's title at the inaugural PointsBet Invitational Sunday with a 7-4 win over Casey Scheidegger in the final.

The victory was worth $50,000 for Jones, Karlee Burgess, Mackenzie Zacharias, Lauren Lenentine and alternate Emily Zacharias at Willie O'Ree Place in Fredericton.

Jones and company strung together four straight wins to claim the title and take home the winner's cheque.

They're a new team this season with 48-year-old Jones, a 2014 Olympic champion and two-time world champion, skipping under-25 teammates, who won Canadian and world junior titles two years ago.

"We felt [chemistry] instantly, and I wasn't sure because they were already an existing team, and I'm just a couple of years older than them, so I wasn't sure how that would all work," joked Jones.

"I honestly feel like it's so easy. They're easy to be around, and I feel like we've just become one united team, which is crazy because it's only September."

Jones was the No. 5 seed taking on No. 6 Scheidegger on Sunday, although Kristie Moore filled in at skip for the absent Scheidegger.

After blanking the first end, Jones scored two in the second and added deuces in the fourth and eighth ends, while holding Moore to single points with hammer.

"They made a lot of great shots and I just didn't finish in a couple of ends, most definitely," Moore said.

"In the past couple of games, I got opportunities later. But Jen just didn't let us get back in there."
