Team Manitoba, who was skipped by Connie Laliberte won the event after defeating Alberta in the final 6–5. This was Manitoba's fifth title overall and the third skipped by Laliberte, who previously won in 1984 and 1992. At the time, Laliberte joined Vera Pezer as the only skips to have won the event three times. With the win, Team Laliberte went on to represent Canada at the 1995 World Women's Curling Championship.

After winning the Manitoba Hearts, Laliberte's third Karen Purdy broke her ankle after a fall, forcing the team to replace her with Cathy Overton-Clapham for the national championship.[5]

In the final, Alberta had a 3–2 lead after five ends, but Manitoba capitalized in the sixth end on a mistake by Alberta skip Cathy Borst when she wrecked on a guard with her last rock. Laliberte drew for two to take the lead. The teams traded singles over the next three ends, making the teams tied 5–5 heading into the last end, with Manitoba having the hammer. Manitoba struggled in the 10th end, with lead Janet Arnott missing a peel, and second Cathy Gauthier flashing on a hit. On her final shot of the end, Borst partially buried her stone in the four-foot. Laliberte replied by chipping out the Manitoba rock, hanging around in the 12-foot for the winning point.[5]
