Hello, Orlando Roller Derby fans! 
We could not have asked for a better season opener on Valentine’s Day! Crowds lined the rink at Semoran Skateway, keen to see what the Orlando Psycho City Derby Girls would bring for the first bout of 2016.Our double-header event kicked off with the Sunnyland Slammers facing the Serial Thrillers. The Thrillers took an early lead but things got exciting toward the end of the second half, when Mimi Monoxide capitalized on a key power jam to close the gap. Both teams entered the second half focused and ready, but ultimately the Serial Thrillers came out on top with a score of 114. to 73.Up next, a tired Serial Thrillers bench faced the fresh legs of the Arkham Assailants, the 2015 season champs. The Thrillers had a tough time getting points on the board during the first half, pushing hard against Arkham’s strong blocking defense but not making much headway. Arkham’s jamming game remained strong for the entire bout, and although the Thrillers make an 80-point jump to tighten the score during the second half, it was no match for Arkham’s consistency. They ultimately bested the Thrillers 205 – 103.
