The Boston Breakers finished their second season in a row at the bottom of the table. It was bad.
11 points out of 20 games, 3-15-2 record, -33 goal differential. They had the worst GD in the league by 23 goals. They got blown out by four goals or more four times, three of those times thanks to the Western New York Flash.
NWSL just released some season-end stats, and those add to the generally dreary picture of the 2016 Boston season.
- 2.35 goals against average, “a new NWSL record for the worst GAA”
- 6 consecutive games without a goal, a feat which the eighth-place Houston Dash also achieved
- 9 shutouts, tied with FCKC for most in the league
- 12 consecutive away losses, dating back to 2014
- 32 consecutive away games without a shutout, dating back to 2013, 19 games longer than any other club in NWSL
- 937 minutes spent trailing, 238 more than any other team in the league
- 52% of the season spent trailing

Those are all really, really bad stats.
