Denver, CO - The Dallas Rattlers lost Thursday night to the Denver Outlaws by a score of 15-9. The Rattlers will look to improve an 0-4 record on a double-header week as they travel to New York to face the Lizards Saturday night.

The tallies marked the first career goals for both Mooney and Salama.

Attackman Zack Greer left the game in the second quarter with an injury and did not return.
Both teams matched evenly in the third quarter with two goals apiece. Joe Saggese netted his first career goal and Ryan McNamara added his second of the night.
