It is a battle of 1st v 2nd in the West, with the winning team taking the lead.

The Warriors clinch 1st place in the Western Conference with a 11-5 record, and will face either the San Diego Legion or the Seattle Seawolves at home in the Western Conference Semifinal. Rugby FC LA finish with a decent 8-7-1 record, and will face the Houston SaberCats in the WCSFs. They will need to wait until the result of the Houston SaberCats match tomorrow to find out if they will be playing at home, or on the road.
