STARTING XI: Smith, King, Oyster, Westphal, Chapman, Salem, Lavelle, White, Leon, Dowie, Weimer
The Boston Breakers had their game against the Seattle Reign well in hand, although you wouldn’t have predicted it based on the collective record between the two. Boston was 0-9-1 against Seattle going into Saturday night’s game, but they played like the record was level.
Boston opened up a little bit shaky, with Seattle putting early pressure on them, but they held up well until they were able to turn the tide and push back. Rose Lavelle was once again the key cog in the middle for Boston, working with Rosie White to move the ball through the midfield.
