Oly Rollers 168, Denver 161
Despite suffering nearly crippling penalties with just minutes left to play in the bout and a hostile crowd at the Craneway Pavilion in Richmond, California, the #4 seed Oly Rollers held off the #2 seed Denver Derby Dolls 168-161 to win the WFTDA west region championship for the third time in four years. Denver’s Sandrine Rangeon narrowed Oly’s lead to 164-159 with just 1:59 left to play but Oly’s On Da Sligh and Denver’s Heather Juska went scoreless in the next jam before Atomatix won the lead jammer and ran out the clock in the bout’s final jam.
Denver led 34-15 ten minutes into the bout and a 19-0 jam for Hearher Juska increased the Denver lead to 53-24. But Atomatrix and On Da Sligh answered with 14-0 and 20-0 jams and Oly scored 51 unanswered points to take a 75-53 lead and eventually took an 88-77 point lead into halftime.
After falling behind 104-89 early in the second half, Denver tied the bout 108-108 with about twenty minutes left to play and led by nine with twelve minutes left to play. But a 25-0 Atomatrix jam gave turned the half around for Oly and gave them a 152-136 lead that they wouldn’t relinquish.
Both teams move on to the WFTDA Championships in Atlanta beginning on November 2nd. By winning the west region, the Oly Rollers earn a first round bye.

Both teams are 3-0, Lincoln has a highpowered offense and North Thurston has had an outstanding defense all season long. The winner will claim sole possesion of first place in the 3A Narrows League.

Here it is, September 20th, nearly a full month into the fall college sports season and today marks the very first home game for the Saint Martin’s volleyball team, a league match against Alaska Fairbanks.
The Saints hit the road for their first five games and all of their non-conference schedule dropping three matches in Hawaii before finally getting their first wins of the season in visits to two National Christian College Athletics Association schools in New Hope Christian of Eugene, Oregon and Walla Walla University. The Saints easily knocked off New Hope, who are in their first year as a varsity athletic program, and won in straight sets at Walla Walla, a more established but still lower-rung team.
Game time is set for 7:00 PM at Marcus Pavilion.
