Jones opened the scoring with four points in the first end. The St. Vital skip added to her lead by stealing singles in both the second and third. The game was called after Jones posted another four-ender in the fifth.
The 2014 Olympic gold medalist has yet to play a full game at this year’s provincial women’s curling championship. Her top seeded rink only needed a combined 14 ends to capture its first two victories on Wednesday.
