The Boston Breakers have traded midfielder McCall Zerboni to the WNY Flash for their highest second-round pick in the 2017 college draft.
Zerboni was originally acquired from the Portland Thorns before the 2016 season as part of a package deal with fellow midfielder Sinead Farrelly, who has thus far continued to rehab a preseason injury and is not medically cleared to play. Zerboni, however, has started every game for Boston and played 670 minutes over eight games.
Zerboni was supposed to be the Breakers' defensive mid, pairing with Salem to sit in front of the back line and break up attacking play.
