The team also got some help courtesy of Shamar Williams, who rushed for 110 yards and a touchdown on only five carries.
Another reason for the win was Chester's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for four sacks. In that department, Dominic Toy was the leader with two sacks.
Ty Romance and Sam Moore certainly did their best on Saturday to try and avoid the loss. Romance threw for 120 yards on eight of 13 attempts, while Moore only rushed for 35 yards and and a rushing score.
