Andrew DeLeon had a 41 yard touchdown run on his only carry of the game and Favel added a 66 yard punt return for a major.
Nanaimo quarterback Jordan Yantz didn’t throw often, but was effective when he did.
Yantz completed eight of 14 passes for 141 yards and two majors.
Backup Dustin Pederson threw two passes in mop-up time, completing both with one TD.
Nanaimo’s leading receiver was Dustin Pederson, with four catches for 78 yards. Andrew Smith, Whitman Tomusiak and Marshall Cook reeled in touchdown tosses.
