What a year it has been; a year of firsts. First year for NEO as a full member of WFTDA. First WFTDA sanctioned bout in February, in Appleton, Wisconsin against Paper Valley Roller Girls. First time NEO played in a tournament (Brewhaha) also in Wisconsin; but in Madison. Which also happens to be the first two sanctioned bout wins. NEO officially getting ranked for the first time.
We had a great home season, that saw rematches against Grand Raggidy, Little Steel, Burning River and Gem City. Our season ended with a Rock ‘n’ Roller Girls (RnR) victory over Gem City and a very climatic come from behind win for Audio Assault (AA) over Blue Water.
Lastly, for the first time ever, NEO has our very own practice space, located in downtown Akron, on the 6th floor of Canal Place.
