Historical NotesIC Light beer can commemorating the Pittsburgh Passion's undefeated 2007 season. Formed in 2002, the Pittsburgh Passion has become a formidable presence in the Independent Women's Football League (IWFL). In 2007, the Passion recorded an undefeated regular season going 8-0. After winning all three of their home playoff games, the team improved to 11-0 after victories over Erie, the West Michigan Mayhem, and Cleveland. The team then won the NWFA Championship Game on July 21, 2007 against the Columbus Comets by a score of 32-0. In 2008, the Passion recorded their second consecutive perfect regular season, finishing 8-0, winning the North Atlantic Division title, and defeating the Orlando Mayhem in the Eastern Conference Semifinal. However, they lost the Eastern Conference Championship to the Chicago Force by a score of 8-7, ending their 23-game winning streak which dated back to 2006.
