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

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

After a blank opening end, it was top seed Einarson who notched three points in the second to take an early lead. Down 4-2 entering the fifth, though, Homan’s second-seeded squad took their first lead with a three-point end.

After Homan bumped the lead to 6-4 in the seventh, Einarson knotted the contest with two in the eighth. Down 9-6 following the ninth end, however, Einarson was only able to notch one point in the 10th and final end.

Matt Dunstone and Reid Carruthers are set to meet in the men’s final later Sunday.
