The Los Angeles KISS and the Philadelphia Soul met for the first installment of the Rocks vs Jocks game. LA was looking to bounce back from a tough road loss at the hands of the Orlando Predators, but they couldn't stop the Soul offense. The two teams played equally in the first quarter, with the score being tied 14-14. But in the second, the Soul blew the game open. 

A pick six and two passing touchdowns courtesy of Dan Raudabaugh, gave the Soul the three possession lead. Nathan Stanley cut the deficit to two touchdowns via a one yard rushing touchdown, but it didn't seem to help. Philadelphia would stay steady the rest of the way, as their offense continued to dominate the KISS defense. Raudabaugh finished with 250 yards and six touchdowns.

Those touchdowns went to Darius Reynolds, and Shaun Kauleinamoku, who had three apiece. KISS quarterback Nathan Stanley had four touchdowns on 18 completions, but he plagued by two interceptions. Captain Morgan had 106 yards and three touchdowns. 

Both teams had 17 first downs apiece. LA had seven penalties, which cost them 56 yards. LA (2-3) has now lost two straight games, after starting 2-1. The Soul (4-1) have won three straight games since losing to Jacksonville. The KISS will look to bounce back next week at home against the Portland Steel.
