Denver Outlaws News Release
DENVER- 7,993 fans filled INVESCO Field at Mile High to watch the Denver Outlaws become the 2008 MLL Western Conference Champions. The Outlaws defeated the Chicago Machine, 15-13, in a nail-biting game that gave them an undefeated home game record, the only one in the league. With four goals and one assist, Brian Langtry was named the Bud Light MVP.
In a close game, Langtry opened up the field with two consecutive goals. The Leveille brothers teamed up to answer those goals with Mike on the assist to older brother Kevin. Matt Brown's goal widened the Outlaws' lead, but Chicago closed out the first quarter tying the game three all.
Ryan Powell showed up for the Outlaws scoring the first goal of the second quarter giving the Outlaws a 4-3 advantage. That lead was short-lived with three unanswered markers from the Machine by Jake Deane, Kevin Leveille, and Nicholas Schmidt. Like the first quarter, the second wrapped up with the game tied at 7-7 thanks to Outlaws goals by Drew Westervelt and Brendan Mundorf.
The Machine's Terry Kimener came out of the locker room swinging with a goal at 1:22. Denver followed up that with a three-goal streak. Tying the game with a two-point goal was Machine midfielder Steven Brooks. In a four-goal performance, Kevin Leveille scored with 3:00 minutes left in the third, but Mundorf was quick to answer putting the Outlaws up by one going into the final quarter.
The Leveille connection stayed solid with yet another goal by Kevin, assisted by Mike. Outlaws attackman Mundorf completed his hat-trick thanks to a goal at 4:15. Sealing the deal for the Outlaws was a goal by Powell and Langtry with a final score of 15-13, the same as the first meeting between the Machine and Outlaws.
With the nearly 8,000 fans in attendance tonight, the Outlaws broke another attendance record. The Denver Outlaws tallied 65,118 total fans this season at INVESCO Field at Mile High, breaking the previous total attendance record that they set last season with 63,552 fans.
The Outlaws finish up their dominating season in Boston against the Cannons on August 9th before heading to Championship Weekend August 23rd and 24th.
