The ball was spread around, with six Comets logging two or more receptions. Tahmya Squire was the leader receiving, with 164 yards on 8 catches, scoring 2 TDs. Lesley Chalmers logged 3 receiving Touchdowns on 6 catches for 68 yards. Raniya Griffin, Xitlali Botts, and Alina Jeanbaptiste each recording a receiving TD for the Comets.

On defense, Jeanbaptiste led the way with 9 Tackles, with Laurencia Botts just behind with 6. Four Comets would grab interceptions, with Xitlali Botts, Tahmya Squire, Lesley Chalmers, and Raniya Griffin each forcing a turnover. Squire's INT would go for a defensive touchdown.
