The Boston Militia celebrate their victory in the National Conference Championship against the Indy Crash.

The Boston Militia women's football team will look to cement itself as one of the most dominant teams in the world of women's professional football when it takes on the San Diego Surge in the 2011 Woman's Football Alliance Championship game on July 30 (7 p.m.) at Pennington Field in Dallas.

A win would mark the second straight title for the Militia. The Somerville- based team won the Independent Women’s Football League Championship last season. The move up to what is billed as the largest women’s full-contact, tackle football league in the country would seemingly be a start to getting the Militia more exposure in a city that has seen its share of championships over the last decade.
