The WNXL
In the WNXL , the breakdown was fast , but exhilarating . Coming into the event , Belladona was in first in the standings by a mere 4 points over Drakaina , and the competition between the two remained intense .
Still in its burgeoning stages , the WNXL added a fourth team to its ranks for this event , Halcyon of the United Kingdom . As the newest edition , Halcyon struggled , but should hold their heads high for picking up only 2 points against Belladonna , the team that dominated the preliminary roundrobin .
Both Belladonna and Drakaina trounced Karma before moving on to the Semis .
In the semis , Drakaina came out on top over Karma , looking strong going into the finals , and Belladonna rolled Halcyon once again to move forward .
The finals were a hard-fought battle between Norwegian Drakaina and the Belgian ladies of Belladonna , who had remained relatively uncontested by comparison . Using the momentum they built up throughout the day , it was Drakaina who came out ahead in a 3-1 victory , leaving these two emerging rivals tied for first place in the series .
