Leagues: Rocky Mountain Roller Girls vs. Sacred City Derby Girls
Date/Time: July 11th, 2009 at 7 pm
Location: Roller King in Roseville, CA
This bout matches two WFTDA Western Division rivals against each other for the first time. The Rocky Mountain team is currently ranked #8 in the West while Sacred is at the #11 spot. While competing amongst teams in your region is very important for tournament seeding, in this case, it might also help Sacred City crack DNN's top 25 teams that are ranked every month. Rocky Mountain sits at #17 in the site's July rankings. If Sacred City is able to beat the Colorado team or come close, they may finally get to see their team join the leagues of the nationally ranked.
Last month, Rocky Mountain slaughtered the Omaha Rollergirls in a 187 - 14 victory. Prior to that routing, Rocky Mountain suffered losses to the Boston Derby Dames (125 - 87) and Team Awesome (93 - 60) this season. In February, they competed in the Four Corners Feud, a tournament held in Colorado, where they eventually took fourth place after losses to Duke City (179 - 93) and Pikes Peak (120 - 113).
Sacred City has been keeping themselves busy this season with games against teams from all over California and beyond. They've notched wins against Slaughter County Roller Vixens (148 - 82), Central Coast Roller Derby (103 - 48), and OC RollerGirls (101 - 80). Last month they suffered their first real loss of the season against the #7 team in the West Division, Pikes Peak (167 - 70).
In May the competed in The Big One, an all-California flat-track derby tournament. They were able to scratch out a close win against the L.A. Derby Dolls but lost to both the San Diego Derby Dolls and the B.ay Area Derby Girls and were not able to advance to the second round.
In the upcoming months, Sacred will be hosting top West teams like the Denver Roller Dolls and Duke City Derby and the South Central division team the Dallas Derby Devils in preparation for the WFTDA Western Regionals. While the schedule may be strenuous on the league and the travel team, it will surely give them a lot of time to work out the kinks and develop different strategies for their first go around at a WFTDA tournament.
