MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 12 – “All the veterans were saying ‘we’ve done this once and we do can it again.’”
Rookie Jammer Katarina Hit and rest of her team took this message to heart and skate Saturday night, as a packed Minneapolis Convention Center watched the Banger Sisters win their second consecutive bout, this time over the previously undefeated Kilmore Girls, with a convincing 87-73 victory.
The second jam in the bout put in the Banger Sisters ahead in a big way as they poured in 16 points. Jammer Torii Hunt Her claimed lead jammer and circled the pack four times while pivot Roller Vixen and a blocking line of SAWSQUASH, Miss Hannigan, and Mickey Dismantle held the Kilmores back from scoring. The bout swung to 21-5, and the Kilmore Girls were never able to crawl out of that hole.

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 12 – Facing a potential 0-3 start, the Delta Delta Di’s defense dug in and secured a 73-66 victory over the Violent Femmes Saturday night. The Deltas allowed 27 fewer points than in their loss to the Banger Sisters last month.
Delta Delta Di’s season hadn’t started as planned, as they lost their first two games following their league championship last season, but the team had vowed to stay the course with their effort and strategy. “We had minor changes, but only to cover our loss of players,” captain Frat Brat said. Assistant co-captain Ali Bye added, “Everyone who bouted worked really hard together… it ended up obviously working in our favor.”

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 1 – A first-half surge punctuated by two high-scoring jams was enough for the Banger Sisters to defeat Delta Delta Di 93-84 in the second set of bouts in the North Star Roller Girls 2007-08 season.
13 points by Torii Hunt Her on the third jam of the game and a 9 point follow-up from Dominatrix three jams later broke open a lead for the Bangers that the Deltas could not shore up at any time during the bout.
The Bangers led 54-43 at halftime, and Delta Delta Di did not come closer than 7 in the second half. “Some last-minute roster changes threw us off,” Delta co-captain MEDUSA said.
