They would end up finishing with a 9–3 record and clinch a playoff spot for the fourth consecutive time. However, they would end up losing in the championship game for the third time to the Toronto Nationals by a 10–9 score.[1][2]

The Outlaws acquired Max Seibald, the 2nd overall pick out of Cornell, 7th overall pick Shane Walterhoefer out of North Carolina, and 8th overall pick Dan Hardy from Syracuse in the 2009 Major League Lacrosse Collegiate Draft[3]
