Tribe (39) Credit Union (6)

Tribe's Tattoo faces Credit Union in a what appears to be a very one-sided game. Tribe quarterback Carlo would find Ed Pellot-Rosa, Tajae Grey, Justin Connolly, and Scimone Campbell who all scored touchdowns with Paul McField to convert an extra point. A 50-yard dash down the sideline from Agueda Blake places Tribe in great scoring position with Andrew Wisdom as quarterback to complete a pass to Pellot-Rosa who scores the touchdown and Chris Rankin to convert the extra points.

Credit Union's would answer back with Ernest Ebanks as quarterback who sends a long pass to Tiffany Ebanks who was left all alone in the back field. Ebanks completes the catch and dashes down the middle of the field with tribe’s defense on the pursuit. Shifting to second gear, Ebanks would find the end zone to score the first touchdown for Credit Union. The extra point conversion however was no good. Good flag pulls by Lisbeth Ebanks of Credit Union stops Justin Connolly in his tracks. With just under 5 mins left on the clock Andrew Wisdom would find Scimone Campbell. Despite Credit Unions good defensive tactics, it was not enough to keep the Tribe down as they end the game with Tribe (39) Credit Union (6)
