The Asheville Splash were a women's soccer franchise founded in 2001, and from 2003–2004 were members of the Atlantic Division of the USL W-League.
The team changed its name from the Blue Ridge Rapids in 2002 due to a trademark dispute with the Colorado Rapids. They played at Memorial Stadium in Asheville, North Carolina. The team folded after the 2004 USL W-League season.[1] The team's mascot was an otter.[2]
In 2004, the club's programs promoted a future men's team, the Asheville Slide, which was never founded.[2]
In 2018, Asheville City SC's newly formed women's soccer team hired Stacey Enos, who had captained the Splash from 2001–2003, as its inaugural head coach.[9]
On June 19, 2021, Asheville City's women's side held a commemorative match marking the 20th anniversary of the Splash's founding.[2] Icarus FC designed Asheville Splash throwback kits for the occasion.[10]
