Madison, Wisconsin, Sunday, Feb. 14, 2008

In a game featuring nine lead changes, a resurgent Reservoir Dolls team pulled out a narrow victory over the Unholy Rollers, 121-118.

With six lead changes in the first half, the Unholies held a 62-55 lead at half...The Res Dolls broke out to a 101-70 lead halfway through the second period, but Mack the Knife eliminated most of that with 20-0 jam with 12 minutes remaining.

With just over four minutes to go, the Unholy Rollers’ Mack the Knife went down with a knee sprain, but left her team with a 114-106 lead. Back-to-back eight-point jams from Mouse and Charlie Hustle followed, and the Res Dolls were up 121-118 with just 44 seconds left. With a five-to-two player advantage, the Reservoir Dolls’ Vicious van GoGo sealed the deal with lead jammer status.

Both defenses were solid. The key to the balance of the game were five jammer penalties for the Unholy Rollers to just one for the Res Dolls...

Charlie Hustle scored 56 points for the Res Dolls, followed by Mouse with 39...Mack the Knife led the Unholy Rollers with 54 points.

Paper Valley’s All Stars trounced Madison’s Team Unicorn in Appleton last weekend. They did the same to the Mad Rollin’ Dolls’ Quad Squad in an unsanctioned interleague bout, winning 170-92.

After falling behind 19-0, the Quads kept it close until Cyanide Ride laid down a 14-0 jam for a 72-41 lead. Pissy Pistol bracketed half time with 26 points, and PVRG maintained a 60-point margin for most of the second half...

The Quad Squad beat Paper Valley last spring, but a year of teamwork demonstrated that Paper Valley possesses some serious talent...Top of that list is Pissy Pistol, who followed last week’s 92 points with 72 this time around...PVRG’s pack put up a solid three-skater defensive front and held the Quads to just five points during back-to-back PVRG jammer penalties.

Thunder Kitten had 38 points for the Quad Squad, and rookie Aleta the Hon 28.
