Melissa Adams of Fredericton would win her first ever provincial Scotties title. She had previously won the 1998 World Junior Curling Championships.[3] Adams had scored four points in the sixth end to defeat Saint John's Sarah Mallais rink in the final by a score of 9-6.[4] The Adams rink represented New Brunswick at the national Scotties, where they had to compete in a pre-qualifying tournament against the Yukon, Nunavut and Northwest Territories to enter the main event.[5] After going 3-0 in the round robin portion, they lost the final to the Northwest Territories and didn't enter the main draw.
