Meanwhile, Victoria Aldana led a potent offensive attack with 169 total yards of offense and four passing touchdowns.
Aldana tossed a pair of those touchdowns to Bazylewicz, with the other two going to Kittle and Scarlett Holian. Kalina Estrada rounded out the scoring with a four-yard rushing touchdown.

Santa Barbara High 31, Oak Park 12
The Dons also began their season with a convincing win, taking down the Eagles at Peabody Stadium on Tuesday.
“This was a great team win today,” Santa Barbara High head coach Travis Manach said. “We got contributions from everyone on the roster today. It was a really great way to start the season.”
An interception by freshman Maddie Stoll kickstarted the Santa Barbara offense, as it led to a 6-yard touchdown pass from senior Laila Hernandez to senior Elina Stump to take a 6-0 lead early in the second.
After Oak Park answered with a touchdown of its own, the Dons punched back as Hernandez and Aurelia Agredano connected on a 55-yard catch-and-run before Stump broke off a 20-yard rushing touchdown to go up 13-6 heading into halftime.
Stump continued to roll in the second half, breaking free for a 66-yard touchdown run and following that up with a 50-yard punt return touchdown for her fourth score of the day.
Santa Barbara rounded out its scoring when an Agredano interception led to a 3-yard rushing touchdown by Lylee Harris. Oak Park scored early in the fourth to bring the game to its final score of 31-12.
Stump totaled 126 yards from scrimmage to go with her four touchdowns, while Agredano turned in a strong game defensively with five flag pulls, three pass breakups and an interception.
The Dons (1-0) will now host Hueneme on Thursday at 6 p.m.
