BuxMont Sirens beat Akron All Star 181-147 in key regional win

Bux-Mont Roller Derby Sirens did more than win by 34 points on June 27. They took down Akron Roller Derby All Stars 181-147 in a matchup that had barely separated the teams on paper, and they did it against an opponent with a much deeper season resume.

The Women’s Flat Track Derby Association had listed BuxMont 42nd and Akron 44th in NA Northeast on the upcoming-games slate, while the pregame rankings showed only a 1.98 GPA-point gap, 62.13 for BuxMont and 60.15 for Akron. That made the result much more telling than the final score alone. BuxMont entered with a 3-5 record and a 74.58 GPA in WFTDA’s season-in-numbers view, while Akron came in at 14-4 with a 60.15 GPA, a contrast that made the Sirens’ win stand out as a statement against a more established, more frequently winning side.

Akron still put 147 points on the board, enough to keep the game in competitive territory and show why the All Stars had been a dangerous regional opponent. But BuxMont controlled the evening’s more valuable moments, turning a tight ranking matchup into a cleaner cushion than a one-score finish and protecting the kind of margin that can matter when the tables get sorted later. For teams clustered in the middle of a bracket, a result like this can be as important as a headline final because it shifts who gets to climb and who gets stuck fighting uphill.

The win also changes the way BuxMont’s recent form reads. The Sirens had gone into the weekend after losses to Philly AStars, 208-91 on May 10, and Boston B, 181-115 on May 9, two results that could have made them look vulnerable in the NA Northeast race. Instead, they answered with their highest-ever regional ranking already sitting at 36th in May 2026 and then beat a team that had once reached 31st regionally in April 2025. Akron, for its part, had shown both ends of its range too, including a 392-49 win over Chem Valley on May 16 and a 167-94 loss to Ann Arbor B on April 5.

WFTDA’s scale gives the result even more weight. The governing body says it oversees women’s flat track roller derby internationally and currently counts 408 member leagues on six continents, which makes regional points hard-earned and closely watched. In that environment, BuxMont did not just win a game in Sellersville, Pennsylvania. It tightened the NA Northeast pecking order and made its case before the next checkpoint cycle sharp enough to be taken seriously.
