Game 3 of the international WFTDA Division 1 Playoffs in Evansville, Indiana, rife with star passes, was finally determined by the heavy defensive lines of the Windy City Rollers (seed 3, ranked #11) from Chicago, Illinois, USA, in their win against Toronto Roller Derby (seed 6, ranked #23) from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Also contributing was two especially strong jammers for Windy City, Ying O’fire and Jan Trainor, who were almost tied at 80-81 points apiece as key jammers for the team and game. Windy City determined much of the game play, and steadily added points as they held Toronto back firmly, but Toronto regrouped and pushed heftily back up as they neared the end of the first half and put up most of their points in the second.
