Brussels started the scoring with Cory Chapman passing the ball to Justin Mayne who kicked it past the Newton netminder. Before the first 25 minutes were over, Matt White took the ball down the field and scored another point. The second half was again in Brussels favour. White returned the ball to Keisha Bishop who passed it back. White then passed it to the other forward Drew Thomas, who kicked it by the unsuspecting Newton goalie. White scored twice more in the second half and Mayne scored once more. The final score was 6-0 for Brussels. Netminders for Brussels were Tate Stephenson and Chapman.
