Canada’s Jones beats China to remain unbeaten at women’s world curling playdowns
NORTH BAY, Ont. — Skip Jennifer Jones and her Canadian team fought through a few uncharacteristic mistakes Monday before pulling out a 9-5 win over China at the world women’s curling championship.
Third Kaitlyn Lawes threw a stone through the house in the fourth end, Jones had a flash in the eighth and second Jill Officer had a miss of her own in the 10th end.
Canada (4-0) was still able to regain the lead with a deuce in the ninth and stole two more points in the 10th to remain unbeaten in round-robin play.
“We just stayed patient and that’s kind of what we do,” said lead Dawn McEwen.
