The Boston Breakers have signed goalkeeper Sammy Jo Prudhomme in the wake of a preseason injury to starting keeper Libby Stout.
Prudhomme was selected #31 overall by Boston in the 2017 NWSL College Draft. At the time fans wondered if perhaps this was an insurance pick as 2016 second goalkeeper Abby Smith is coming back from a season-ending knee injury. But then the team announced Stout would be out four to six weeks with an ankle injury back in early March. So now at the very least Boston has someone immediately ready to step into that slot, someone who has been regularly training with the team during preseason and won’t need as much time to integrate as a completely fresh keeper.
