How the West Was Won: DRB’s Dust Bowl Invitational

The women of Atomic Assault just got back from DRB’s Dust Bowl Tournament in Bakersfield. The ladies were matched up against some of the best the west has to offer. Teams present hailed from as far north as Portland, Oregon to as far south as Tucson, Arizona. The teams were veterans and it showed in the way they played.

Although our ladies came home with no wins, they did put up a heck of a fight. They gained a new perspective on the game and each other. The team showed excellent team work!
The girls are fighting bruises and soreness and are heading to practice to prepare for their first home bout. With a new outlook on flat track roller derby and the pride of winning at home, the girls are sure to knock a few heads at home!
Skate hard, hit hard, and whip it when possible!
