Britton marched the Sun down the field on the ensuring possession, hooking up with Noah Bymak for a 44-yard score on third and two.

They built the lead to 28-7 just before the half ended when Aiden Wiberg scampered 30 yards for his fourth major of the season.

Nathan Tonagai electrified those Sun fans in attendance, taking the opening kickoff of the second half 108 yards to put the visitors up 35-7.

Clayton tossed his first career touchdown pass later in the quarter, hitting Bymak from three yards out.

Kemarr Bishop closed out the scoring with a 71 yard punt return.

Liam Attwood also booted a 37 yard field goal while the Sun put up two more points on a conceded safety.
