It would be hard to imagine a worse quarter for Summit. Summit had 3 possessions and each ended in a turnover. On the first possession Summit moved the ball to the West Essex 40 yardline on three passes and then suffered the first of four lost fumbles. As it turned out, that first drive would be the deepest penetration Summit would make until the closing seconds of the game. It took only 4 running plays for West Essex to score. On the next possession Summit lost the ball via another fumble on Summit's 31 yard line. Five plays later West Essex made the score 14-0. After the kickoff Summit began to move the ball but a tipped pass resulted in another turnover as the quarter ended. Fortunately, West Essex was unable to score and the half eventually ended with Summit being down 2 TDs.

West Essex received the kickoff at the start of the 2nd half and took 7 1/2 minutes off the clock as they rolled 62 yards in 12 plays to assume a 21-0 advantage. In the 4th quarter a fumble turnover gave West Essex the ball on Summit's 26 and they jumped on the opportunity. A pass and a run and the score was 27-0. Summit's only score came after Matt Williams returned a put to the West Essex 48. As Keith Schroeder's pass to Chris Dean covered 43 yards and another to JP Coviello picked up the final 5 yards to put Summit on the scoreboard with less than 30 second remaining in the game.

Summit was forced to rely almost totally on passing as West Essex completely shut down Summit's running game. West Essex was able to key on the passing game and kept Schroeder under heavy pressure all day. There were 4 sacks and numerous blocked passes.
