[3] Winning their second consecutive division title by finishing 8–0, the Divas clinched home-field advantage throughout the Northern Conference playoffs.

Although the Divas lost, 28–6, the contest set a new record for the highest attendance at a women's football game, as 8,200 fans came to the event.

For the second straight year, however, they were handed their first defeat of the season in the Northern Conference championship game by eventual NWFA champion Detroit.

After that season, the Divas moved from Eastern High School in Washington, D.C. to the new Prince George's Sports and Learning Complex in nearby Landover, Maryland, and a new uniform design was also unveiled.

Running back Rachelle Pecovsky and linebacker Ivy Tillman received the game's MVP honors on offense and defense, respectively.

The Divas were just as successful in this new league, however, finishing with an 8–0 regular season record for the fourth straight year and capturing the Mid-Atlantic Division title.

On July 25, the Divas went to Round Rock, Texas, a suburb of Austin, to play for the 2009 IWFL World Championship.

The Western Conference champion Kansas City Tribe pulled a 21–18 upset and handed the Divas their first loss of the season, taking home the IWFL championship in the process.

Despite finishing the regular season at 5-3 (two games behind the 7-1 Atlanta Xplosion), a stronger overall schedule gave the Divas the division crown, their seventh in team history.

[4] Also that season, former Diva wide receiver Natalie Randolph made national headlines as one of the first female head coaches of a high school football team.

However, for the second year in a row, the eventual league champion Boston Militia ended the Divas' season by knocking them out of the playoffs.

In a situation similar to 2010, the Divas, with a 5–3 record, claimed a division title over 7-1 Pittsburgh thanks to a stronger strength of schedule.

But this time emotions spilled over, and the game ended in a bench-clearing brawl which attracted negative media attention and resulted in several suspensions by the league against Divas players.
