EL SEGUNDO, CA - Still glowing from their 161-69 victory against the OC Rollergirls two weeks ago, the Angel City Derby Girls Hollywood Scarlets sentenced the Arizona Roller Derby Tent City Terrors to a stiff 137-62 defeat.

BOSTON, MA -- Bostonians can handle bad drivers, but last Saturday at Shriners Auditorium the Charm City Rollergirls brought stop-and-go traffic of a different kind.

BOSTON, MA -- This Saturday, the Boston Massacre hosts the Charm City Roller Girls this Saturday at what is slated to be an intense rematch. Boston and Charm City, currently ranked #8 and #9 in the nation by DNN, last met in an April 2007 thriller.

LOS ANGELES, CA -- Before the LA Derby Dolls' first advance-ticket sellout game of the season, the San Diego Derby Dolls Swarm stung the LA’s Varsity Brawlers with a knockout 100-45 defeat February 28 at The Doll Factory. For both teams, it was their first game in an LA Derby Dolls season, but the freshman Varsity Brawlers were clearly overwhelmed by the vastly more experienced San Diego Swarm.

DALLAS, TX -- A long anticipated bout finally came to fruition last Saturday when the Dallas Derby Devils took on Assassination City, the first time the cross-town rivals had met in a regular WFTDA sanctioned bout. More to the point, this was the first time fans of both leagues were able to fill up a building and cheer, cheer, cheer. If that weren't enough to draw a crowd, local men's team Dallas Deception hosted the Tucson Dry Heat Militia in their debut bout, a 40 minute affair. Let no one say they don't appreciate derby in Dallas.

CHARLOTTE, NC -- The Charlotte Rollergirls christened their new venue in impressive fashion, posting a 110-64 victory over the visiting Classic City Rollergirls from Athens, GA.

DALLAS, TX -- This Saturday night finds Dallas derby making some history in multiple ways as they host a full-length, male / female doubleheader. The first bout finds the very first time that two WFTDA teams from the same city have faced off against each other at home, as the Dallas Derby Devils take on Assassination City.

Garda Belts 76, Atomic Bombshells 57 ST. PAUL, MN --  The Atomic Bombshells entered their match against the Garda Belts with the worst record of the league; 0-2 with a near triple-digit negative point differential. With two matches to play, they still held hope alive; two large wins could send them to the championship, as long as GBs lost to the Rockits in March.

BOSTON, MA -- Move over David Ortiz, the Boston Massacre are Beantown’s new grand slam champions. In a bout that saw Boston’s score rise in fits and starts—and by fives and tens—jammers Claire D. Way, Krushpuppy, Maura Buse, and Sugar Hits turned in a total of 19 grand slams toward a 104-point landslide over Maine Roller Derby’s Port Authorities.

BALTIMORE, MD -- In front of another crowd that must have been a lot closer to two thousand than to one (which seems to be far more of a habit and less of an exception with derby these days) the city of Baltimore welcomed the Charm City Roller Girls All Stars back from a four month hiatus on Saturday night.  In return the crowd was delighted to witness not one but two very solid wins, first over the Dutchland Derby Rollers 187-41 and then over Providence Roller Derby's all-star squad, the Rhode Island Riveters 171-76.
