Spring Roll Mini-Update: Game 1
TCDG brings home a hard-fought WIN in their first game of Spring Roll against New Orleans’ Big Easy — who was anything but easy! Though Twin City took an early lead, Big Easy went on a scoring streak to take the lead 73-66 at the half. They held that lead through most of the second half, but TCDG never gave up and kept victory just within reach. In the final jam, begun just before the game clock was about to run out, the Big Easy jammer scored and attempted to call it off, but was sent to the box on a track cut. Houchebag seized the opportunity to get two passes in before the jam clock expired, and TCDG gets the win, 181-169!!
Tomorrow, TCDG wears black against the tournament hosts Fort Wayne in white. This will be an equally tough one, so be sure to stay tuned! DNN is live streaming all the Spring Roll bouts, so point your browsers at http://www.derbynewsnetwork.com/live! 12 noon EDT, Track 1.

Next Up: Spring Roll!
All eyes here at TCDG are on Fort Wayne for the upcoming weekend, as the ladies in green head to the annual Spring Roll Tournament. Now in its 5th year, Spring Roll features 11 WFTDA leagues in sanctioned play (as well as 11 Men’s leagues in a parallel MRDA-sanctioned tournament).
In this three-game weekend, our charter roster of skaters will face three seasoned opponents: New Orleans’ Big Easy (82nd),Connecticut (93rd), and the tournament hosts Fort Wayne (95th). All three games will be first-time matchups, and with the June 30 season-end approaching quickly, everyone is going to be anxious to pick up some extra ranking points. While all three teams currently sit below TCDG (70th) in the latest release of the official WFTDA rankings, we expect all to be tough opponents.
The full Spring Roll schedule can be viewed here, along with links to watch the streaming video feed (links coming soon). We’ll also be posting to our facebook page throughout the weekend, if you want to follow and cheer!
TCDG plays Friday, Saturday and Sunday as follows:
Friday 9:30 pm EASTERN time vs. Big Easy – Track 2
Saturday 12:00 noon EASTERN time vs. Ft. Wayne – Track 1
Sunday 8:30 am EASTERN time vs. Connecticut – Track 2
