The Ithaca BlueStockings emerged victorious from the Crown City Rollerz Royal Pains first home bout in Cortland, NY. This was also the Bluestockings first bout of the season! Great performances from both teams.
The BlueStockings ended the first period of the game leading by 56 points! The score at the end of the first half was 21-77. With about ten minutes remaining in the second half the BlueStockings had easily gone over the century mark, and while the scoreboard didn’t display over two digits, the score was 40 – 118. Final score 55-156, a win for the BlueStockings. These teams will meet again for a rematch on September 10 in Ithaca, NY.
