History

The Lone Star Mustangs played their first full season of women's full contact football in 2009 and ended the season at 6-2 after playing the H-Town Texas Cyclones and the Austin Outlaws and missed the playoffs by merely 1 point. In 2010, the second full season of play for the Mustangs, they won the Women's Football Alliance National Championship.

In 2009, the Mustangs were proud to have first team Women's Football Alliance All-Americans Ebony Jones at defensive end and Alex Harvey at defensive tackle. The Mustangs also had 3 honorable mention Women's Football Alliance All-Americans: Jennifer Hull- QB, Brittany Satterwhite - RB/WR, and Daniela Ottaiano - S. The Mustangs ended their first season with a roster of 52 players who put in an outstanding effort. The players ranged from 19–45 years of age and came from all types of different backgrounds.

The Mustangs team was originally owned and operated by Dallas - Fort Worth businesswoman LynMarie Liberty - Ellington. In 2010, she was named the WFA Owner of the Year. At the end of the 2011 season, LynMarie chose to allow the players and coaches to run the team, which will officially be player-owned in 2012.
