Reservoir Dolls 169, Brewcity Bruisers' Maiden Milwaukee 73


For the second time this month, a Mad Rollin’ Dolls home team faced a Brewcity squad to fuel a budding backyard rivalry between the two leagues. The Reservoir Dolls took advantage of superior jammer depth and bruising pack play to defeat Maiden Milwaukee 169-73 and finish off their regular season slate of bouts on a three win streak.

All-time MRD scoring leader Mouse got the Res Dolls off to a fast start. She could not get through the pack cleanly in the bout’s first jam, but neither could Milwaukee’s Rejected Seoul, and the home team’s lead was quickly 13-4. Milwaukee’s Beelzebelle, injured early in the second jam, gutted her way off the track to allow play to continue, but the result was a further-demoralizing 9-0 jam in the Res Dolls’ favor. These initial jams were a microcosm of the first half. Punishing hits by Texas transfer Vicious van GoGo and other Res Dolls blockers consistently thwarted Milwaukee jammers. Meanwhile, six different Res Dolls jammers sliced through a Maiden pack trying desperately to help out their own point-scorers. By the end of the half, the Reservoir Dolls had a 91-40 lead. Rejected Seoul kept it relatively close, exerting a tremendous effort as she scored more than 60% of her team's points.

The second half started fast for Milwaukee. Rejected Seoul took advantage of a major penalty that sent the Res Dolls’ jammer to the box, resulting in a 14-2 jam in favor of the resilient visitors. But those 14 points were more than Milwaukee could muster over the next 15 jams. Second-year star Charlie Hustle and rookie Sproutin’ A Tail combined for six grand slams over that same period as the Res Dolls started rolling. Keyser Suze and STank Girl the Stench Wench were standouts, repeatedly bludgeoning Maiden jammers at the back of the pack, then adding some point scoring to complement their defensive play. Milwaukee’s Super Hera and Mad Mallett stood up to the punishment while dishing out some of their own, but in the end there were too many confident scorers for the Res Dolls. Mouse, Charlie, Sprout, and Rosetta Stoned each chalked up 25+ points and the Reservoir Dolls skated away with the 169-73 victory.

Double-digit scorers: RD – Mouse (59), Charlie Hustle (35), Sproutin’ A Tail (35), Rosetta Stoned (26); MM – Rejected Seoul (43), Super Hera (14), Slayera (10)

Pack standouts: RD – Vicious van GoGo, Keyser Suze, STank Girl the Stench Wench, Busta Crimes; MM – Mad Mallett, Romaniac, Super Hera


Vaudeville Vixens 118, Unholy Rollers 80

Madison's “Pirate Party” provided a wild setting for the most highly-anticipated bout of the home season, re-matching last year’s Finals opponents the Vaudeville Vixens and the Unholy Rollers. Key skaters for both sides were out with injuries, but the decimated Unholies couldn’t outlast the reigning champs, falling just short 118-80.

The Unholy Rollers started well. Jewels of DeNile staved off Dairyland Dolls teammate Juke Boxx’s lead, holding the score to only 2-1 in the first jam. The Unholies then took the lead thanks to a 3-0 score tallied by Goldie Mean in the second jam. The Vixens quickly countered with a steady stream of 4 and 5-point jams while holding the Unholies scoreless for 7 straight. In jam 10, the score was 33-4 when Jewels’s 9-0 turn sparked a 20-6 run for the Unholies over the next 4 jams. But again, the Vixens responded. With Chop Suzzy and Dolly Pardon Me marshalling a clean-playing, well-coordinated pack, the Vixens extended their lead. The first half was capped by a three-grand slam jam by Darling Nikki that blew the game open at 67-28.

After a very clean first half, penalties finally started catching up with the Vixens after halftime. Working in thinner packs, Mauly Tov, Wildberry Punch and the Unholy Rollers blockers began transitioning more smoothly between offense and defense, allowing their scorers to consistently attain lead jammer status. Near the 10-minute mark, the margin had steadily declined to within striking distance. The Vixens switched up strategies and clogged the track for a few jams, playing stifling defense and frustrating Unholies jammers. Finally, in jam 16 of the second half, all five Unholies on the track took turns packing the penalty box and Ace S. Wild scored 14 points to put the game out of reach. The Vixens cruised through the last few jams to remain undefeated for the season.

Double-digit scorers: VV – Sugalumps (40), Darling Nikki (31), Major Kusaknocky (18), Ace S. Wild (14), Juke Boxx (10); UR – Jewels of DeNile (49), Twisted Halo (19), Goldie Mean (11)

Pack standouts: VV – Darling Nikki, Juke Boxx, Ninja, Dolly Pardon Me, Chop Suzzy; UR – Wildberry Punch, Mauly Tov
