The Chiko Rollers were lightning quick in their bout against Diamond Valley’s Roughcut Rollers, jumping out to a 30-4 early lead.
They took advantage of having a full roster of 14 for the first time all season, playing a fast and physical game that left their opponents with little in the tank for the second half.
The girls extended their advantage to win 218-108 and move up into fourth place on the ladder.
MVP awards for the Chikos went to captain Sparkling Brute for jamming and Library Fine for blocking.
Four matches were held at Bendigo Stadium during the day, run by the local Dragon City Derby Dolls league.
Skaters now head to Ferntree Gully for round four of the Stampede on July 4.
