FREDERICTON — Jennifer Jones defeated Andrea Kelly 9-5 in first-round play Wednesday at the PointsBet Invitational. 

The six-time Canadian women’s curling champion iced the victory with three points in the ninth end. 

Jones has a new-look squad this season. Karlee Burgess played third in the opening game with Mackenzie Zacharias at second and Lauren Lenentine at lead. 

The loss eliminated Kelly from the single-knockout competition, a new addition to the Season of Champions calendar.
