Boston Breakers defeat FC Kansas City 1-0 in first season win

For five games now, Boston Breakers Matt Beard has said the goals are coming. He wasn't entirely wrong; you could see by the way the Breakers played for stretches at a time that they were certainly capable of getting one, and had sometimes been flat out robbed by goal line clearances.

Tonight they finally took the monkey clinging to their backs and gave it the old heave ho.

STARTING XI: Libby Stout; Julie King, Whitney Engen (c), Kassey Kallman, Mollie Pathman, Brooke Elby (Christen Westphal, 65'); McCall Zerboni (Louise Schillgard, 56'), Angela Salem, Kristie Mewis; Katie Schoepfer (Stephanie McCaffrey, 69'), Kyah Simon

Boston came out with some changes to both its lineup and its formation, dropping usual starters Stephanie McCaffrey and Louise Schillgard in favor of Katie Schoepfer and Brooke Elby.
