Scores: Reservoir Dolls - 124; Vaudeville Vixens -
101
Quad Squad - 106; Unholy Rollers - 36
The Mad Rollin' Dolls rocked the rink in front of another
sell-out crowd in a pair of match-ups crammed with astonishing
speed and heart-stopping pile-ups. With the last whistles,
the Reservoir Dolls and Quad Squad will move into the March
31 semi-finals ranked one and two.
The pumped-up Vixens challenged the powerhouse Res Dolls
- a bout that goes into the books as the best of the
season. From the first jam, when OctoPushy (VV) flew over
the inside lights and took out a ref, to the very last, when
jammers Mouse (RD), and Harlot Bronte (VV) took each other
out at turn four, the Vixens never
let up. Both teams formed tight defensive packs and jammers
had to fight for every point in this high scoring game.
The Unholy Rollers, yearning for blood, just couldn't
get their teeth into the Quad Squad. The vampire girls claimed
six talented first-year skaters this season and the more experienced
2006 champion Quad Squad simply overpowered them. It's
a rebuilding year for the Unholies, who can expect Mauly Tov
and Mack the Knife to emerge as major threats next season.
At halftime, hula-hoops and the Unholies came out tops. Revolver,
hoop dancers from Chicago, defied gravity and kept the hoops
twirling to the delight of the crowd. Also at the half, team
mascots competed in the second annual Mascot Olympics and
the Unholy Roller mascots took serious revenge for their team
on the
other teams' mascots.
The bout was dedicated to Chris “ROM Zombie”
Wallendal, MRD statistician, super
fan and super friend.
This bout rounded out the regular season standings; the teams
are ready to move into the playoffs with the Reservoir Dolls
ranked #1, Quad Squad #2, Vaudeville Vixens #3 and Unholy
Rollers #4. On March 31, the playoffs begin, with the Quad
Squad vs. Vaudeville Vixens, and the Reservoir Dolls vs. Unholy
Rollers.
Get your tickets early for the bouts that will determine
who carries the Mad Rollin' Dolls Championship Trophy
Leg for the next year. All games are Saturday nights at 7pm
at Fast Forward Skate Center. Tickets will be available at
the usual outlets and at www.madrollindolls.com.
