The San Diego Surge will host the Kansas City Titans in the American Conference Championship game on Saturday with the winner earning a shot at the WFA National Championship. This will be the first-ever meeting between the two teams.

The Surge are making the third conference championship appearance in their four-year history. In their previous two appearances (2011 & 2012), they advanced to the national title game.

This time they will need to get pass a high powered Kansas City offense led by quarterback Katie Sowers, who led the league in passer rating during the regular season, and running back Taylor Hay, who rushed for over 1,000 yards and 12 touchdowns. 

The Titans, who will be playing in their first conference championship in team history, have outscored their postseason opponents 84-2.

"Kansas City has been on our radar all season," said Surge head coach William Harris. "They're a well coached team with tons of talent."

Spanos Classic: South Holds Off Late Rally

MESA COLLEGE (07/11/2014) Leading 17-14 with 6:54 left to play, the North had possession on the South's side of the field and was threatening to extend their lead by two scores.

That was until free safety Devaughn Murray came through with an interception and returned it 50 yards the other way.

The clutch play by the former Mount Miguel standout set up a game-winning nine-yard touchdown pass from Serra’s Hunter Correll to Grossmont's Christian Brooks as the South came away with a 21-17 win in Friday night's 24th annual Alex Spanos All-Star Classic.
