On the ensuing series, The Militia proceeded to march down field as Allison Cahill hit Kathryn Tylander for 9-yard gain. A strong running performance by Dorothy Donaldson and Tiamfook with gains of 32 and 27 yards, respectively, put the Militia on the Nitro 17-yard line. Cahill then hit Adrienne Smith on a 17-yard pass and the first score of the game. Danielle Resha converted her first extra point giving the Militia a 7-0 lead with 10:27 in the first quarter.

On the next defense series, Vicky Eddy sacked the Nitro QB for a 20-yard loss and Jennifer Olivieri intercepted a pass, and returned it to the Nitro 8-yard line. Cahill then hit Amy Saur on a 3-yard pass for the second Militia TD of the day. Resha's kick made it 14-0 with 8:41 in the quarter.

On the first series of the second quarter, the Militia ran twice for no gain. On third down, Cahill took the next snap, rolled left to pass, and, seeing all the receivers covered, tucked the ball in, and ran for a 17-yard touchdown at the 13:03 mark of the quarter.

On the next offensive set, the Militia stopped the Nitro and forced a punt. The Militia took over the ball at its own 9-yard line. Tiamfook then took a handoff from Cahill and had some excellent line blocking. She powered her way to a 91-yard Militia touchdown run. Resha's kick was good and the Militia led by a score of 28-0 with 1:41 to go in the second quarter.

The remainder of the quarter had some strong defensive plays by Eddy, Patty Harper, Alicia Harris and Olivieri, Jessica Penta to stop the Nitro. Then the Militia offense marched down the field with a ground game gaining 40 yards only to be stopped by a interception at the Nitro 10-yard line that closed the half.
