The Crusaders pushed the score to 35-0 by the end of the third, a deficit the Diamondbacks cut but never quite recovered from.
Las Vegas better keep an eye on Justin Robbins. He was instrumental in Faith Lutheran's win, rushing for 101 yards and three scores. Isaac Tanpoco also deserves some recognition as he rushed for his first rushing yard of the season.

Faith Lutheran is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 4-7 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their defensive effort, having only surrendered 13.0 points on average over those games. As for Las Vegas, their record is now 10-1.
