The Fusion defense scored the first touchdown of the game, with linebacker Valerie Riley returning an interception for a touchdown just 1 minute and 21 seconds into the first half. The Fusion offense followed suit later in the first quarter with a 12-yard touchdown run by Rosa Casiano to give the Fusion a 14-0 lead. The Comets responded late in the second quarter with a 6-yard touchdown pass and a 2-point conversion, leaving the Fusion with only a 6-point lead at the half.

In the third quarter, the Fusion added another touchdown off a 16-yard pass from quarterback Keri Palma to Riley. In the fourth, Palma ran the ball in herself for a 6-yard touchdown to give the Fusion a 27-8 win over the Comets.
