Homestead broke through for a Try, but Warsaw soon regained command. Tries followed from Oren Henn, Liam Smith and Luis Martinez.

Zionsville 22 Warsaw 17 Warsaw improved steadily with each performance. Their defense was rock solid as they faced a very athletic Zionsville squad. The Warsaw tackling prevented Zionsville from breaking through on many occasions. The opening score came in the first minute with a Try from Liam Smith. Waylon Turpin followed with a Try on three minutes and Liam Smith closed out the scoring on 10 minutes. The conversion was scored by Luis Martinez.
