And the Soul are headed back to the playoffs. Led by quarterback Dan Raudabaugh's eight touchdowns, the Soul used a strong second half to beat the Tampa Bay Storm, 64-42, to clinch a playoff berth Friday night.

"The first of the game was like a chess match, the teams were feeling each other out and that's going to happen sometimes, but we definitely played well in the second half," head coach Clint Dolezel said.

"It's really nice to clinch the playoffs this early, but that's the last thing on our mind — we're trying to win the division next. We still have several tough games left, so we're going to enjoy tonight but then after bye week we're going to come back and get back out here."

Raudabaugh completed 29 of 39 passes for 274 yards against Tampa. He threw eight TDs with no interceptions.

With Arena Football on a bye week, the Soul don't play again until July 11.They'll host the Cleveland Gladiators.
