In the tenth end, Jennifer Jones had an open hit-and-stick to win the game, however, her shooter rolled two far and she only got one. This sent the game to an extra end where Team Fleury would hold the hammer. On her final shot, Fleury attempted a soft-weight hit on a Jones stone partially buried behind a guard. Her rock, however, curled too much and hit the guard, giving up a steal of one and the game to Team Jones.<ref>{{YouTube|hMEJGKrCaLc|'''Video''' Women's Final - 2021 Tim Hortons Curling Trials - Fleury vs. Jones}}</ref> Team Fleury earned the silver medal from the event.

In their next three events, Team Lawes struggled to find consistency, missing the playoffs at all three.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thegrandslamofcurling.com/news/kioti-gsoc-tahoe-notebook-homan-extends-dominant-streak-against-canadian-teams|title=KIOTI GSOC Tahoe Notebook: Homan extends dominant streak against Canadian teams|publisher=Grand Slam of Curling|author=Jonathan Brazeau|date=November 6, 2025|access-date=March 27, 2026}}</ref> This led them into the [[2025 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials]], which they directly qualified for through CTRS points.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.tsn.ca/curling/article/canadian-olympic-curling-trials-qualifying/|title=Canadian Olympic Curling Trials qualifying|publisher=TSN|date=September 10, 2025|access-date=March 27, 2026}}</ref> There, the team continued to see mixed results, finishing the round robin at 4–3. This tied them for third place, however, they missed out on the playoffs due to a poor Draw Shot Challenge (last stone draw).<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.curling.ca/blog/2025/11/26/womens-final-three-confirmed-at-montanas-canadian-curling-trials/|title=Women's final three confirmed at Montana's Canadian Curling Trials|publisher=Curling Canada|date=November 26, 2025|access-date=March 27, 2026}}</ref> To wrap up 2025, the team had a strong run at the [[2025 Canadian Open (curling)|2025 Canadian Open]] Tier 2, advancing to the finals where they were defeated by [[Taylor Reese-Hansen]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thegrandslamofcurling.com/news/reese-hansen-ramsfjell-win-hearinglife-canadian-open-tier-2-titles|title=Reese-Hansen, Ramsfjell win HearingLife Canadian Open Tier 2 titles|publisher=Grand Slam of Curling|date=December 21, 2025|access-date=March 27, 2026}}</ref> In the new year, the team continued the season at the [[2026 RME Women of the Rings]] Manitoba women's provincial. After a previously undefeated 7–0 record, Team Lawes fell 9–7 in the final game to Beth Peterson after Lawes' final shot for the win wrecked on a guard.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.winnipegsun.com/sports/peterson-defeats-lawes-in-manitoba-women-s-curling-final/article_e2635249-a5d1-4159-90b6-4b63ed5a4b04.html|title=Peterson defeats Lawes in Manitoba women's curling final|publisher=The Winnipeg Sun|author=Gordon Anderson|date=January 4, 2026|access-date=March 27, 2026}}</ref> However, due to Rachel Homan having to withdraw from the [[2026 Scotties Tournament of Hearts]] as the Scotties schedule conflicted with the Olympics, an additional spot was instead given to Lawes as the highest CTRS ranked non-qualified team following the completion of all provincial and territorial championships.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.curling.ca/blog/2026/01/12/round-robin-pools-schedule-complete-for-2026-scotties-in-mississauga/|title=Round-Robin Pools, Schedule complete for 2026 Scotties in Mississauga|publisher=Curling Canada|access-date=March 27, 2026}}</ref> For the event, [[Laura Walker (curler)|Laura Walker]] played second for the team, replacing Jocelyn Peterman who was competing in the [[Curling at the 2026 Winter Olympics – Mixed doubles tournament|mixed doubles tournament]] at the Olympics.
