Ifeoma Onumonu was the Breakers’ last announced signing before putting out their 2017 roster. The 5’10” forward went #8 overall in the draft and has been putting in quality time in preseason with two goals and one assist over three games.
Now it’s almost time for the regular season to begin. TBM caught up with Onumonu after Boston’s 6-0 defeat of UConn in preseason, where she slotted in top right in the second half. Onumonu looks to be battling with Midge Purce for the starting spot in that position, where they’ll be expected to provide width in conjunction with Natasha Dowie, but also to take their own chances.
