The Flash in action against the Philadelphia Independence during the 2011 Women's Professional Soccer Championship Game at Sahlen's Stadium in Rochester, New York.

The Flash joined the Women's Professional Soccer league as an expansion team in 2011, following its undefeated championship season in the USL W-League in 2010 as the Buffalo Flash. The team retained Aaran Lines, who coached the Flash the prior two seasons in the W-League, as its head coach, and remained under the ownership of Joe Sahlen.[1]
