The Obic Seagulls remain the longest-reigning champion in X League history after winning an unprecedented fourth consecutive title by defeating the Fujitsu Frontiers 24-16 in the Japan X Bowl at Tokyo Dome on Monday.
The Seagulls will play collegiate champion Kwansei Gakuin University for the third straight year for the overall national championship in the Rice Bowl on Jan. 3.
The game was not as easy as it looked for the defending champs despite the Seagulls taking a 24-0 lead midway through the third quarter.
