The first selection was Southern Illinois' Amy Harre, picked by the expansion Chicago Bandits.[1] Athletes are not allowed by the NCAA to sign professional contracts until their collegiate seasons have ended. The Arizona Heat made their selection in round 1, but passed on all their subsequent selections. NPF teams' exclusive rights to players selected in the 2005 draft expired July 15, 2005.[2]
