View got on the board on its first drive when Spann got in the end zone for the first time from 12-yards out, making it 6-0 after a missed extra point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Vikings scored again late in the first quarter this time it was Brandon Cornejo on a two-yard dive and again the extra point was missed making the score 12-0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Aztecs got on board on their first play of the second quarter when quarterback Nathan Noguez kept it himself from 10-yards to make it 12-7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
View made it a two score lead again as this time quarterback Enriquez Ochoa pounded it in from two yards out making it 20-7 after a successful two point conversion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Azusa didn\u2019t waste anytime getting on the board in the second half when Jeremiah Potter look the second half kickoff to paydirt and cut the lead to 20-14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That score wouldn\u2019t hold for long as Spann broke one for a 79-yard burst through the Azusa defense and into the end zone. After a Aztecs fumble, Spann scored for the third time – this one from three yards out making it 32-14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Aztecs scored again on a four-yard Julian Estrada run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Vikes kept it on the ground and Cornejo got in the end zone again making it 39-22 with just over five minutes left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Azusa lit up the board one last time late in the fourth quarter when Noguez found a wide open Estrada in the corner of the end zone for the final score of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Spann had 11-carries for 209-yards and three touchdowns, after the game Spann said \u201cWe\u2019re out here to win and that\u2019s all that matters to me and my team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cornejo finished with 27-carries for 172-yards and two scores. Victor Espinoza had a solid night for the Vikings on defense with a pair of sacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Martin Cueva led the Aztecs with 99-yards rushing on nine carries while Estrada had 104 total yards and two scores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
