In a game that was simultaneously quicksand slow and adrenaline-filled, with no fewer than nine lead changes and a tie, Victorian Roller Derby League persevered over the Minnesota RollerGirls to a 169-122 win. Both teams focused heavily on defense, pitting VRDL’s famed slow-moving diamond defense against Minnesota’s own rock-solid walls, with packs regularly taking more than a minute to move halfway around the track or allow a jammer to escape. However, it was brief moments of offense and fast footwork that racked up the most points for each team.
