The Boston Breakers lost 3-2 to Sky Blue FC in their return to Jordan Field, but despite the scoreline, the team showed actual progress in two areas: 1) it scored multiple goals in a game for the first time this season and 2) it scored goals in consecutive games for the first time this season.
Is that a low bar to scuttle over? Well then you haven’t been paying attention. Getting over any bar right now is good, and it’s created an actual sense of hopeful contemplation for the near future. That’s acres better than the resigned malaise that has long infused Breakers loyalists.
