News Charlotte Roller Girls All-Stars Take Care of Business in Opener
Posted By Ryan Pitkin on Wed, Mar 8, 2017 at 12:19 PM
The Charlotte Roller Girls were back at it on Saturday, March 4, for another season opener at the Grady Cole Center.
The Charlotte Roller Girls All-Stars took care of business early, taking down the Tallahassee RollerGirls 255-155. The CLTRG’s B-team, the B-Dazzlers, had a rougher go of things, falling to the Carolina RollerGirls Bootleggers from Raleigh by a score of 305-120.
Total Lizaster skated with CLTRG for five years before taking to the sidelines as the All-Stars’ coach on Saturday.
“Going from an All-Star skater to coach has been incredible. Sure, I wish I was still on the track battling it out with my teammates, but I feel like I bring a unique perspective to coaching,” Lizaster said following the bout. “With the emotions of being a skater still fresh in my mind, I can have a better understanding of what is going through my players’ heads during the game.”
Lizaster said she’s confident about the team’s potential as they prepare to cross the country for the Dust Bowl tournament in Bakersfield, California, on March 17.
