She would return to the Scott for four consecutive years, from 1994 to 1997 playing lead for Laura Phillips. From 1994 to 1996 the team would not make the playoffs, however, at the 1997 Scott Tournament of Hearts, they would finish round robin play with a 7–4 record advancing as far as the semi-final, where they would lose to Ontario's Alison Goring.
