Outlaws End Season 5-3, Fail to Make Playoffs

The Austin Outlaws full-contact women's football team accepted a forfeit victory from the Dallas Rage this weekend but needed the Pensacola Power to beat the New Orleans Blaze by at least 59 points for the Outlaws to be eligible for the National Women's Football Association's postseason. Pensacola won but not by enough and ended the Outlaws successful yet disappointing 5-3 season.
Shadana Hurd led the Outlaws in rushing with 934 yards, 15 TDs, and a 10-yards-per-rushing-attempt average! Her agent should be contacting the Houston Texans for a tryout. Lisa Walters was Austin's top receiver with 13 catches for 203 yards and two TDs. Quarterback Julie Wilke completed 29 of 69 for 471 yards with three TDs and a 43.8 QB rating. Congrats to the Outlaws on a winning record for their 2007 campaign and good luck next year.
