The afternoon game was also a blowout, as the Blue Steel Brew downed the Wild 19-1. The Wild dominated the first half of the game, racking up a ton or yardage, and Sue Glenn's rouge gave them a 1-0 lead at halftime.

Quarterback Holly Graham connected with Heidi Padjen for two touchdowns, and Padjen's twin sister Mila Main collected a tipped ball for the team's other major. Kara Espeseth recorded a convert, and Main, Padjen and Sam Miiller had interceptions.
