The 2012 Western New York Flash season was the club's fourth season of existence. The club played in the newly created WPSL Elite League following the suspension of Women's Professional Soccer.

Background[edit]

Main article: 2011 Western New York Flash season

Review[edit]

On January 30, 2012, the WPS announced that the league would suspend operations for the 2012 season, meaning that the Flash will not have a main domestic league to participate in for the season.[1]

    Notes:
    1. ^ The Boston Breakers forfeited the May 26 match against the Western New York Flash for fielding an ineligible player. The Boston Breakers won the match 3–2.[3] The WPSL credited the Western New York Flash with a 1–0 victory[4] with all previous goals of the match being nullified.[5] Before the June 18 ruling,[4] Breakers forward Katie Schoepfer led the league in scoring with 8 goals. However, her 3 goals at the May 26 match were all forfeited, as were goals by Flash players Adriana and Angela Salem.
