The Paper Valley Flyin’ Squirrels traveled to Beloit, WI to take on the Stateline Derby Divas on April 25, 2009. This being the first Squirrels bout EVER, the skaters had no idea how they would fare against the Divas. The Paper Valley Flyin’ Squirrels’ nutty debut was fantastic as they handily defeated the Stateline Derby Divas with a final score of 227-107.
The Squirrels sped ahead in Period 1 with a score of 89 to 23 obtaining lead jammer status only 7 out of 15 jams. The second period, the Squirrels’ defense held the Divas back so they could take advantage in 9 of 14 jams with lead jammer status, outscoring the Divas by 20 points.
The Squirrels defense showed off their skills by hit-hit-hitting! The crowd saw each Diva being leveled in the 3rd period. Stella Storm launched Warrior from the track and into the Diva wall. It took a minute for Warrior to shake off the cobwebs and return to the rink for some more punishment. The Divas were again outscored in Period 3, with the Squirrels scoring 73 points to the Divas 39 points.
Scorers for the Paper Valley Flyin’ Squirrels: Cyanide Ride 71 points, Blazin’ Britches 68 points, Amy Grindhouse 46 points, and Eye DropHer 42 points.
