SWIFT CURRENT – A critical miss in the ninth end cost Team Canada’s Jennifer Jones a free trip to the Worlds Women’s Curling championship final, resulting in a 6-3 loss to Germany.

Instead, Jones’ St. Vital foursome will now face the winner of the Page 3-4 game between Scotland and Sweden in Saturday’s semifinal (6 p.m./TSN).

Jones appeared in control of a tight game, leading 3-2 entering the ninth end Friday night against Germany’s Andrea Schopp. But an attempted rub-and-roll to the button with Jones final stone over-curled and left Schopp with an open hit for four.

The Germans ran the Canadians out of rocks in the 10th end to seal the victory, the second time this week Schopp’s German’s have defeated Jones, who finished atop the round robin standings of the 12-team competition with a 10-1 record.
