Riedell’s 13 yard TD run at 5:30 of the second quarter made it 20-0 and a 27 yard TD pass from Schiele to Kyle Schaffran, followed by a Riedel two-point conversion gave the Chargers a 28-0 halftime lead.
With 9:15 remaining in the third quarter the Chargers added to their lead on a two yard run by Cade Carlson and another two-point conversion run by Riedel. Carlson added TD runs of 2 yards at 7:30 and 74 yards at the two minute mark of the third quarter as the Chargers built their lead to 48-0 after three.
