Nabura displayed her speed in the opening minute of the game, scoring the first try of the match and putting Navy in the lead.

The Seahawks replied with 3 tries to lead 15-7, but the determined sailors managed to cross the try line again, closing the gap to a point difference.

Nabura scored the last try, sealing the win for Navy.

She was also awarded the Best Player of the Match award.
