The championship tournament capped a year of surprising upsets and firsts for WFTDA, including the expansion of regional qualifying tournaments to include North and South Central divisions, which resulted in the largest tournament pool in WFTDA history.

In their first year of tournament play, the Oly Rollers’ Cosa Nostra Donnas not only entered the national tournament as the No. 1 seed from the Western Division, the league won the championship with a 178-100 victory over longtime derby matriarchs, the Texas Rollergirls.

Real. Strong. Athletic. Revolutionary.
