The Sun Path Products NSL News had introduced the SolarFlakes on 11 July 2014 before they would become the first team from Lithuania to compete in 4-way Women at a world meet.

The SolarFlakes had still competed in the AA Class (11.8) at the World Challenge 2014. The meet average in the AAA Class at the Polish Indoor Open 2014 (13.6) was significantly higher at the end of a successful 2014 season.

Outside Center Zivile Gudaityte said that her team was very happy with the results: "It was great to meet so many Polish teams, and we look forward to seeing them again soon. We also hope more teams from around Europe will come next time." The SolarFlakes will continue with the same lineup this year. Former Hayabusa member and Qatar coach Luc Verstrepen will work with the SolarFlakes at the training camps at Flyspot.
