The Shock's defense was led by Defensive Player of the Game Nygel Rogers. Rogers led the team in total tackles (5.5), pass break-ups (4) and also led the team in interceptions (2 – returned for 60 yards total). Alex Teems also turned in an award-winning performance earning the Cutter's Catch of the Game by making a diving interception in the end zone. DS Rob Keefe also got into the action coming up with a 4th Quarter interception that sealed the victory for the Shock. Teems, Keefe, and Rogers each had two interceptions each. This tied the record that Keefe set last season, for most receptions in a game.
