Wide Receiver Tara Stephenson added the 2 point run and the score was 22-6 Divas. The Divas fourth offensive possession was capped by a 12 yard catch and run from Wide Receiver Tara Kallal which made it 29-6.

The final score of the first half was another great effort by the offensive line and Running Back Tiffany Matthews.
