Game Day Recap: River Rats vs. Relentless Roller Derby

Our River Rats took home a big win in their final away game of the season, defeating Relentless Roller Derby in beautiful Greensboro, NC! They have been working hard all year and gave it their all on the track to bring home the victory. Relentless Roller Derby were wonderful hosts and we’re grateful for the opportunity to play them on their home turf.
