After a
few months of mixers, NOVA Roller Derby is proud to bring out two of the home teams to duke it out on the
track. Join us on Saturday, September 14 at Michael and Son Sportsplex at Dulles , where The
Beltway Betties will try to end Vineyard
Vixens’ seemingly unstoppable winning streak.
Fans
can look forward to plenty of hard-hitting action against these two teams in a
bout where (almost) anything goes. Even though they’ve been matched up before,
the Betties’ have undergone major changes in the past few months that have
completely changed the makeup of their team, making this exciting rivalry a new
experience for nearly everyone involved.
