The DC Rollergirls All-Stars came into this weekend’s Eastern Regionals seeded 10th. Of ten teams. Team co-captain Battery Operated told us on Friday that she had modest hopes that the team would climb as high as seventh in the rankings. Respectable performances in defeat against Carolina (#7) and Steel City (#5) in the first two rounds put those lofty aspirations to rest. But our All-Stars did notch a convincing win in their final bout, toppling the Dutchland All-Stars to finish the tournament in 9th place.

The DC Rollergirls’ All-Star team arrived in White Plains, New York last night to participate in Derby in the Burbs, the league’s Eastern Regional Tournament. The action began this morning, and our All-Stars are scheduled to skate at noon. The Championship bout is slated for Sunday evening.

Yesterday, we caught up with DCRG All-Star Co-Captain, Battery Operated (real name Suzie, a 29-year old land use planner from Northern Virginia. If we told you any more than that, we’d have to kill you.)
