The I5 Rollergirls traveled to Spokane to play against the Lilac City Pixies in their very first travel team bout of the season. The Pixies were very excited to represent east of the mountains and took their mission seriously. They faced a tough team but proved to be up for the challenge by leaving it all on the track.

Both on the track and off, each of these teams exuded good sportsmanship and positive attitudes.  Their strong communication and cohesiveness really stood out. 

I5’s persistent jammers and stand out blockers, such as Karmic Death, SyRum and Little Miss Chaos as well as big hitters Barbie Brutal and Helle Diablo proved a formidable foe.

Despite I5’s early lead the Lilac City Pixies did not give up, they fought hard throughout the entire bout bringing a strong defense and a great scoring run by Pulchritude Punk who gained lead jammer status and made a good comeback with multiple scoring passes on a single run.
