It's fair to say Boston fans are used to losing. The team finished at the bottom of the table in 2015, and second from last in 2014. They've now lost their first two games, first 1-0 to the Washington Spirit, and now 3-0 to the Seattle Reign, who themselves were coming off a loss at home to Sky Blue FC.
Boston went down early, giving up a goal in the 10' as Manon Melis looped a ball over goalkeeper Libby Stout off a Kim Little assist, and just when the Breakers were finding a back-and-forth rhythm to the game.
