Birche posted a score in the second quarter, making it 2-1. Chantel put one in the net to make it 7-2 at going into half time.
Hugo-Farias teamwork gave the Heat a goal and a strong start to the third quarter. Basso again scored in quarter 3 making it 7-4. This would be the last score the Heat would see as the Comets proceeded to rack up goals to make the final score 12-4.
