Quarterback Dan Raudabaugh threw his 11th touchdown pass of the night to Donovan Morgan with 14 seconds left, and that proved to be the winning score as the Soul defeated the Tampa Bay Storm, 83-79, Friday night at the Tampa Bay (Fla.) Times Forum.

The game featured 14 lead changes and three ties. With the victory, the Eastern Division champion Soul (13-3) tied their regular-season mark for wins in a season. The Storm fell to 6-9.

Raudabaugh finished by connecting on 24 of 37 passes for 415 yards, 11 touchdowns, and one interception. Leading the receivers were Tiger Jones, who had 12 receptions for 204 yards and six touchdowns, while Morgan had nine receptions for 191 receiving yards and four touchdowns.

Jeff Hughley added two receptions for 10 yards and 159 kick return yards, and Larry Brackins added a 10-yard touchdown.

Leading the way defensively were Joe Goosby with 71/2 tackles and a key fumble recovery late in the game. Rayshaun Kizer added 61/2 tackles and three pass breakups, while Kent Richardson had 31/2 tackles and forced a fumble.

Dusty Bear and Dustin Barno each added a sack.

The Soul will return home July 8 when they host the Spokane Shock at 6 p.m. at the Wells Fargo Center.
