One year ago today, the Charlotte Roller Girls hosted a doubleheader. It was their third of the year. In March, the All-Stars lost to Tallahassee while B-Dazz posted a monumental score against Camel City. In May, the All-Stars beat Little City, while B-Dazz were defeated by Star City.
The opponents for June 9th were tough. Initially billed as a doubleheader against the New River Valley Rollergirls, until NRV let us know they wouldn't have enough skaters for two full rosters. Our ILC was tasked with finding a last-minute opponent for B-Dazz. The LowCountry HighRollers' Bruisin Betties turned out to be available. So the games were set.
This bout also marked the first time that the A game was first, a trend we continued for 2013.
The All-Stars started hard against NRV. They pulled ahead and maintained a lead for the duration.
B-Dazz took the already-warm track next. We were nervous, certainly. LCHR had swiftly defeated us at their house in February. But they weren't quite the same team we'd faced previously. They made small mistakes, which we capitalized on. We kept the momentum going the whole game. And we beat the Betties by approximately the same point spread they'd beat us by earlier in the year.
This doubleheader marked the first time both teams won at home in 2012.
In 2013, we're undefeated at home. Hope to continue that trend on June 23rd when the All-Stars play Soul City and the B-Dazzlers take on Kannapolis!
