Rachel Homan, Kayla Skrlik to clash in curling's PointsBet Invitational women's final




Rachel Homan's curling team is a win away from defending its PointsBet Invitational women's title in Calgary.

Homan beat Kaitlyn Lawes 10-5 in Saturday's semifinal to extend her winning streak to 11 wins this season.

Homan, the reigning Canadian and world champion, will meet Kayla Skrlik's Calgary foursome in Sunday's final.

Curling Canada's five-day PointsBet is a single-knockout event offering a purse of just over $350,000. The men's and women's victors each take home $50,000.

Skrlik beat Winnipeg's Kate Cameron 10-4 to advance to the women's final.

"This feels great. We knew going in that it was going to be a battle right to the final and I'm glad we could pull it off," said Skrlik, whose team was seeded 10th heading into the event.

The win cements Team Skrlik as the lowest-ever seed to make a final in PointsBet Invitational history dating back to 2022.

The men's semifinals features Brad Gushue versus Jordan McDonald and Brad Jacobs taking on Mike McEwen.
