Rayshaun Kizer and the L.A. Kiss are up ended by the Soul.<\/p><\/div>\n

(Anaheim) – The KISS battled back from a two touchdown deficit early but didn’t have enough late in a 56-48 loss to\u00a0Philadelphia Saturday Night before 6,122 at Honda Center.<\/p>\n

The KISS was\u00a0already down\u00a049-41 when the\u00a0Soul recovered an onside kick\u00a0after a touchdown in the fourth quarter.\u00a0Marco Thomas then caught a 10-yard touchdown pass from Dan Raudabaugh\u00a0as the Soul capitalized to go up 56-41 with 4:33 left in the contest. That was all she wrote.<\/p>\n

\"Danny<\/a>

Danny Southwick tossed six touchdown passes in the loss to Philadelphia.<\/p><\/div>\n

“We were expecting it. In fact we told them watch for the onside kick just before it happened,” said KISS Head Coach Bob McMillen. “But I think Philadelphia just executed it well. They had a 6’6″ go up to get it and the kicker made a great kick.”<\/p>\n

Philadelphia scored\u00a0first\u00a0on a 36-yard touchdown pass\u00a0from\u00a0Raudabaugh to Harvey Binford. The KISS answered with a 37-yard TD strike from Danny Southwick to DeMarco Sampson. Sampson turned a short gain into\u00a0a touchdown\u00a0by eluding several defenders and breaking off the long\u00a0run.<\/p>\n

On the next possession Ryan McDaniel hauled\u00a0in a 12-yard TD pass from Raudabaugh to put the\u00a0Soul up seven.\u00a0Ken Richardson then stepped in front of a Southwick pass and returned it 46 yards to the house. the pick six put the Soul up 21-7.<\/p>\n

The KISS responded however to get even at the half. Donovan “Captain” Morgan hauled in a touchdown in the corner. After a huge goal line stand by the KISS,\u00a0Southwick threw a pass\u00a0that is almost\u00a0intercepted but instead is caught by Morgan who raced 42 yards for six.<\/p>\n

Raudabaugh hits Lonnie Outlaw in the corner of the end zone as he beats Laron Scott\u00a0for a seven point Philly advantage.<\/p>\n

On the next KISS possession offensive lineman\u00a0Anthony Parker juggled\u00a0and then holds on to a Southwick toss over the middle and rumbled in for the five-yard score to tie it at 28 at the half.<\/p>\n

The teams traded touchdowns in the third quarter. Philadelphia\u00a0scored twice\u00a0on a Tommy Taggart run and a TD pass from Raudabaugh to Marco Thomas. The KISS’\u00a0Josh Victorian intercepted a pass in his own end zone and returned it 52 yards for a touchdown, but the extra point attempt\u00a0was botched. Morgan caught\u00a0his third touchdown pass of the night – a 33-yard connection. The\u00a0Soul led\u00a042-41 after three.<\/p>\n

The KISS is stopped on downs early in the fourth quarter and the Soul took\u00a0advantage when\u00a0Raudabaugh hits Thomas\u00a0on a two-yard\u00a0 TD pass\u00a0for a 49-41 Philadelphia lead.<\/p>\n

Then came the onside kick\u00a0recovery that proved to be the dagger for the KISS.<\/p>\n

Morgan caught his\u00a0fourth touchdown of the night for the KISS\u00a0to cut the Soul lead to 56-48 with 42 seconds left but it was too little too late.<\/p>\n

“I’m proud of the guys in that locker room. I thought they battled until the end,” McMillen added.<\/p>\n

“We’re never happy when we lose but I’m happy with the way we battled,”\u00a0said Victorian. “We’ll just get ready for Arizona next week.”<\/p>\n

Southwick completed\u00a018-33 for 241 yards and six touchdowns and the interception.\u00a0Morgan had six receptions for 107 yards and four scores.<\/p>\n

Raudabaugh also threw for six scores and 268 yards on 19-30.<\/p>\n

The KISS fell to 2-10 with the loss while Philadelphia improved to 11-2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
