The Boston Breakers played their first preseason game of 2016, and while preseason is a notoriously unreliable indicator of how a team will perform during the season, it is worth nothing that the team looks different from itself this time last year.
The Breakers played three 30-minute periods against Northeastern University, winning 7-0 with seven different scorers. They had the great bulk of possession and shots, staying mostly in NU's defensive third, but occasionally having to deal with a speedy foray into Boston territory.
New head coach Matt Beard started with what might end up as his preferred starting XI, but rotated much of his roster and looked at several players in several different positions.
