GGRD advances to Region finals with 154-53 victory over Boston
September 12, 2009The Gotham Girls Roller Derby All-Stars advanced to the WFTDA's East Region Finals for the third consecutive season by handling the Boston Massacre, 154-53.
The first period was marked by disciplined play and very few trips to the penalty box for the defending national champions, who led 79-17 at the break. The second period's play was more ragged, with Gotham hanging on despite disadvantages in numbers in the pack. Gotham won the second period 75-36.
The GGRD All-Stars notched their 18th consecutive victory and play the Philly Roller Girls tomorrow night (Sunday, September 13) for the WFTDA East Region title. It will be the sixth-ever meeting between these two squads, with Philly yet to notch a win. The 2009 Philly squad is one of the very best in the nation and the 8pm bout promises to be a thriller.
