Baker opened the scoring in the 2nd half with a 1-yard touchdown run. Devon Conner added on for the Passion with a 75 yard touchdown run of her own and Baker found Jana Meister with a 12 yard touchdown pass. Arielle Smith closed out the scoring with an 8-yard touchdown run and the Passion defeat Cleveland 40-0 to improve to 4-1.
