"It's surreal to be honored for our National Championship win with my family, the Chicago Force, and singing the National Anthem on Wrigley Field where I saw my first professional sports game," Grisafe told ChicagoPride.com. "It's thrilling!"
The Force (12-0) cruised to a convincing 81-34 win over the Dallas Diamonds to win the first Force national championship, avenging two previous championship game losses.

Linebacker Darcy Leslie was named the WFA National Conference Defensive Player of the Year after collecting 96 tackles and 28 tackles for a loss this season. In addition, Linda Bache was named the WFA Owner of the Year. This was Bache's 11th year with the team, and the Force has made the playoffs ten out of its eleven seasons.
