Game 1 of the 2015 International WFTDA Division 1 Playoffs in Omaha, Nebraska, featured local favorites No Coast Derby Girls from Lincoln, Neb. (#10) against Helsinki Roller Derby of Helsinki, Finland (#7). The hometown advantage worked in Lincoln's favor, but only for so long. In the last jam, despite a back block call on Helsinki's jammer Maiju Rinne, the ladies from Finland managed a comeback to negate a No Coast upset.
Real. Strong. Athletic. Revolutionary.
