Wrapping up a near-flawless regular season campaign, the San Jose Sabercats defeated the LA KISS 60-38 on the road on Saturday afternoon to finish with a 17-1 record.

That one loss came at the hands of the KISS back in Week 12, but this time, there was no doubt which team was superior.

Wide receiver Maurice Purify finished with six total touchdowns on the night — three rushing and three via the air. He notched the first score of the evening on a four-yard run, and was just getting started.

After the KISS responded to tie the game 7-7, Purify recorded four more touchdowns before halftime, single-handedly providing the Sabercats’ offense.

San Jose led 44-31 at the break, and controlled the second half, limiting the KISS to just one score while putting 23 more points on the board.

Starter Erik Meyer received some time off from the second quarter on, with the Sabercats having clinched the top record in the league and home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

His backup, Nathan Stanley, threw for 175 yards and completing 13-of-24 pass attempts, two of them for touchdown.

With the regular season in the books, the Sabercats can now turn their attention to the playoffs, where they will look to cap off this dominant campaign with an AFL title.
