On their opening drive, the Silver Stars were threatening to draw first blood, until Ashlee Austin-Bean's picked off Shawnee Phillips' pass in the end zone on fourth down.
That would eventually set-up an 80-yard drive that ended with Martin's first touchdown run of the game, giving the Rebellion an early 7-0 lead.
In the second quarter, following both teams exchanging punts, Phillips' pass was intercepted again by Taranisha Taylor. On the following play from scrimmage, Martin was picked off by Denajha Kie, who would go on to score on a touchdown pass from Phillips. The 20-yard connection ended San Diego's scoreless streak at 12 quarters. A blocked extra point kept the Rebellion leading 7-6.
Set up by a 50-yard kickoff return by Adriana Gutierrez, San Diego answered with a 32-yard touchdown run by Martin, increasing the lead to 14-6 at halftime.
The second half kicked off with another big play from Taylor, this time a 70-yard kickoff return for a touchdown to increase San Diego's lead to 20-6.
In the fourth quarter, Martin took off for her third and final score of the game to seal the Rebellion's fifth win of the season. Next week they will close out the regular season at Westview High School for their first-ever meeting with the Oregon Ravens.
