After the Force built a 38-0 lead, the Crash scored on 19-yard touchdown pass in the final seconds of the first half.
Jamie Fornal said surrendering the touchdown was "disappointing."
"But, as Coach [John Konecki] said, it's better [to be scored against] now, so it gives us some things to work on, some things that we definitely need to improve," she added.
Fornal, who was a dominate force on offense and defense, tagged the win as "one of the best games" of her five-year career. She finished with six tackles and a 53-yard interception return for a touchdown. Fornal was named the Game Day Defensive MVP, an honor sponsored by Spin Nightclub and DLG Management.
"It was a good all-around effort; everyone was flying around out there, making plays," Fornal said.
